Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth IIPrint Page

The trees commemorate the Platinum Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and acknowledges her 70 years of service as Australia`s Head of State. 

The Queen’s Jubilee Tree planting took place on Friday 11 November 2022 at 6.45am in Bauhinia Street, Barcaldine in front of the Aged Care units. The official opening was held on Tuesday 6 December 2022 at 10.00am on the Barcaldine Aged Care footpath, 71 Beech Street, Barcaldine. Morning tea was also held after the official unveiling.

The project received funding of $5,000 from the Queen`s Platinum Jubilee Tree Planting Program which will run from 2021-2024. The project will plant an avenue of trees, install a commemorative plaque and hold an event in honour of The Queen’s Jubilee. This will beautify the local environment and enhance the tree canopy.

Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime, and was head of state of 15 realms at the time of her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. 
 

Community-based tree planting across the Barcaldine region received a $10,250 boost this week with the announcement of two successful recipients under the Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee program.

The Aramac State School will use their $5,250 grant to plant an avenue of 22 large shade trees for students, whilst the Barcaldine Aged Care Residential Village will plant an avenue of trees along Bauhinia Street, with their $5,000 grant.

Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said that in total, almost $100,000 will be shared across the Maranoa electorate to mark the Jubilee (70 years of service) of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II.
