Grand Piano for Civic Centre

In 1976/1977 after a busy year that included the Rotary Roundabout in September, a 3 day Rodeo in November and a one day Rodeo in April the Rotary Club of Biloela were able to donate the Grand Piano to the Civic Centre.

Wahroonga Retirement Village

In 1978/1979 the club purchased 2 blocks of land at Wahroonga. This was the first time the club went into debt. The debt was paid off in 1980/1981. This land provided access to Wahroonga from the Burnett Highway.

President Col Muir’s main project in 1981/1982 was to establish the park in front of Wahroonga. Approximately 80 trees were planted, garden areas lined with black plastic and covered with pebbles at Wahroonga Rotary Park.
