Marlin Coast Lions Club has been granted a lease over a shed in Syd and Jane Granville Park in Holloways Beach.

The club provides important support to the Cairns community, including assistance to those in need during emergencies, and has raised and donated over $60,000 towards local, national and international projects.

The shed will provide storage for the club’s equipment, used for community and disaster support, including first aid equipment, barbecue equipment, signage, gazebos, bottled water, soft drinks, cooking equipment and eskies.

During the recent Tropical Cyclone Jasper and subsequent flooding event, Syd and Jane Granville Park remained relatively unaffected by flood water and was used as a staging area and hub during the emergency and following recovery period coordinated by the Holloways Hub Volunteers Donation Crew.
