Sunshine Coast council has improved the newly constructed Staves Rd drains and  piped crossings to the hall and fire brigade car parks. The drain between the two crossings has been replaced by a piped section which includes access to take drainage from the hall’s car park.

A music sound system, $200.00, a marque (6 m x 3 m), a large water hose and reel and  a full length mirror have been donated by Association members. The mirror will  be fitted in the disabled toilet.

Setting up in the morning

The hall has acquired nine second-hand folding tables. They will providing better facilities for hirers while a grant is sourced for a set of new tables.

This makes a total of eleven plastic folding tables plus our three existing wooden folding tables (now repaired) , this complements our one hundred and fifteen chairs.

Sunshine Coast Council has constructed piped entry  crossings into the hall and the fire shed parking areas.

A drain was also cut along Stave Road

.

The crossings

Most of the council supplied road-base went into the crossings and vehicle access to the fire shed.

Councillor Greg Rogerson and Sunshine Coast Council provided the funds to construct the crossings, with Greg instrumental in moving the project along.
