Inland Rail construction partner, McConnell Dowell, working with local scrap metal business Thomo’s Cash for Scrap has raised $4500 from metal recovered from the site for the Glenrowan-Warby Ranges Lions Club.
The steel was recovered from the reinforcement works for the new Beaconsfield Parade bridge and general construction activity onsite.
The Glenrowan-Warby Ranges Lions Club is a valued organisation that helps local people in need and the funds will help them to continue to carry out important work in the community.
Ed Walker, Inland Rail Delivery Director B2A said:
“Inland Rail is determined to leave a positive legacy in the communities we work in along the alignment.
“The Lions Club does remarkable things in the community, and we’re delighted we could help.”
Miguel Reyes Cardenas, McConnell Dowell Construction Manager said:
“This small gesture can make a big difference in a local community.”
Ross Kelly, Glenrowan-Warby Ranges Lions Club President said:
“Thanks to Inland Rail, McConnell Dowell and Thomo’s Cash for Scrap for making this happen.
“We will put the money to work to support local families in need, maintain local sites and help run our successful monthly market.”
