Community Projects Approved

Two community project requests were approved at today’s ordinary Council meeting and Mayor Rod Marti is pleased the Council has again had the opportunity to support the community.

‘Malanda Community Kindergarten applied to replace their playground including removing the existing playground, levelling the space and building an access ramp for children with disabilities.

‘The kindy is funding the $222,821 project that will be a nature-based play space for the 44 children who attend the centre.

‘I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product,’ Mayor Marti said.

An extension to existing amenities at the Tinaroo Sailing Club was also approved at the meeting.

‘The extension includes three toilets, two showers, a compliant disability toilet and access ramp.

‘These additional facilities will support the club during their large events and I congratulate them on receiving the grant for this project,’ the Mayor said.
