Kinbrook estate resident hosted an Easter egg hunt for the young families within the development.

Dannielle Calvert is the local resident who co-ordinated the hunt. Ms Calvert said for those living at the Kinbrook estate, the Easter spirit is in the air.

“It’s like an old school community where everyone knows and cares for each other, everyone is willing to help each other,” she said.

This year the hunt welcomed double the turnout compared to last year, with 60 kids racing down to the playground with empty baskets in the search for chocolate Easter eggs.

With the idea for the hunt coming directly from local residents, Ms Calvert said that it is important to host these events to bring the community closer together.

“It means the kids can get to know each other and develop cute little friendships, and the residents get to mingle and get to know each other, it grows the community spirit,” she said.
