Horsham Rural City Council will name part of reserve along Burnt Creek after the late Jack Schier subject to community feedback.
Proposed naming: Have Your Say
Horsham residents Graham and Julet Schultz have requested the parkland near Mardon Drive be named in honour of Mr Schier who contributed generously towards the health and welfare of the local community.
Council formally backed the suggestion at its August meeting and the public will have four weeks to provide feedback on the proposal.
Mrs Schultz said Mr Schier and his wife moved to Horsham in 1974 with their adopted son.
A lack of services to cater for their son’s disability prompted Jack to donate 40 acres of his land to develop the Karkana Day Centre and he continued to have a strong interest in the development of it until his death in 2014. “The financial contribution Jack made to the community over the years was quite substantial,” Mrs Schultz said. “He also spent a lot of time working to support the health and welfare of people in our area. “He was a truly humble and generous man who deserves recognition,” she said.
