Miali Brumby Community - Installation of fences on all community houses $800,000.00 Investment - Kalano Community Association
About the project: In consultation with Miali Brumby community members, Kalano community Association is investing in new 6-foot fences for every house in the community to ensure better safety and security for our community members. Miali Brumby has been the beneficiary of various upgrade projects over the past 20years, with upgrades to the community roads and pathways, installation of solar systems, upgrades of community housing and other projects building the reputation of the well-kept community.
