Real estate swings into action

Two playgrounds in the Mahurangi area are one step closer to being completed thanks to support from the Harcourts Foundation.

Warkworth Harcourts recently gave $2500 to the Snells Beach Residents and Ratepayers Association and $1000 to the Rodney Women’s Centre, with both grants earmarked for playground projects.

The funds are a combination of donations, auctions and one per cent of every salesperson’s commission fee.

Last year, the branch gave $5000 to repair helicopter pad lights used by the Westpac service.

The Warkworth branch has been part of the foundation since 2010.

Harcourts Warkworth director Amy Wagstaff says anyone can apply for grants.
