Who's behind the name of Chaseley Park

Chaseley Park was named after the wife of Mr Ian MacDiarmid, Chaseley MacDiarmid, who was an integral part of the early development of the Crows Nest Community.

Mrs Chaseley MacDiarmid was on the board of the Crows Nest and District Co-Operative Hospital Society Ltd for about 10 years.

Originally from Oakey, Chaseley said she always felt honored to be accepted into the community.

She loved living in Crows Nest and got great satisfaction from helping out.  Over the years she volunteered with the P&C, Girl Guides, CWA, the Show Society to name a few.
