Harts Range Races and Sports Weekend

Central Desert Regional Council’s (CDRC) Atitjere municipal crew were once again out and about at the Harts Range Races and Sports Weekend this year. Council sponsor a variety of community events and have been supporting this event with people, equipment and financially for many years.

In the weeks preceding the event the works crew were able to help out with some of the campsite preparation and the new Atitjere rubbish truck was present throughout the event assisting with the disposal of general waste. Every morning during the event the rubbish truck would do the rounds of the campsites, canteen and event arenas emptying wheelie bins and taking bagged waste from the many campers visited.  There were many positive comments about the new rubbish truck. 

Due to the CDRC equipment on site Council Services Coordinator Warren Kenney and Community Safety Patrol/Youth Sports and Recreation Team Leader Scott Pinchbeck and families set up camp for the entire event.

“During our stay we had quite a few visitors pop in for a chat asking where we had come from.  A great opportunity for us to put Atitjere and CDRC on the map,” said Warren Kenney. “The event was well attended and everyone appeared to have a great time,” he added.

The Family Sports Events were sponsored by CDRC, and included running races, tug-o-wars and even a cow tail tossing competition.
