It was an exciting occasion for all as the community project has been on the agenda for more than 35 years.
Work began on site preparation, slab and footings for the 40m x 17.5m rural building. This will house the 25 metre, four-lane above-ground heated swimming pool and gymnasium. Funding for the project has included $220,000 raise by the community plus a NSW ClubGrants of $350,000, National Stronger Regional Fund dollar/dollar Grant of $542,000 and a Veolia Mulwaree Trust grant for $32,400.
The Committee is now waiting for final approval of a Construction Certificate to complete the works and hopes the long-awaited aquatic centre will be opened by June 2018.
