CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY

The Parks and Reserves Manager stated that the quote received for a Exeloo toilet for the centre of town is $54,000. An approximate total cost for installation and connection would be $65,000 to $70,000.

After considerable discussion, it was decided that as it is stated in the LTCCP that a public toilet would be provided in the centre of town, a toilet facility must be installed, and by not doing so would change the level of service stated in the LTCCP.

THAT as stated in the LTCCP a toilet be provided in the centre of town.

PWC07/49 Trembath/Tredgida CARRIED

After putting the motion, a division was called for and recorded as follows:

Crs Trembath, Bubb and His Worship the Mayor, J P Tregidga

Crs Milner and Meyer

The quote received to replace the curtains in the Memorial Hall is $10,300 and as there is a budget of $20,000, the balance of the money could be used for other improvement work to the Hall.

The wall covering material called ‘Hippolon’ that has been trialled in the men’s toilet has been successful to date in deterring graffiti for over four weeks. It has been found that the use of this product is less costly than the propriety anti graffiti paint.

It was suggested that the Parks and Reserves Manager visit other skate parks to gain ideas and collect information on options to improve the skateboard facility and that he report his findings to the next Ward Committee meeting.
