Annual Hall Report-Ian Dennison

The Hall is our biggest physical asset and the Committee is always on the lookout for ways to maintain and improve it.  We applied for a grant under a NSW Government program called "Community Building Partnership" which provides funding with the aims of  "improve community infrastructure for the people of NSW, and encourage the enhancement of local community based activities that create more vibrant and inclusive communities."  Our application was successful and provides a total of $19,993 to pay for 4 items:
  • Repair rusted roofing
  • Install solar panels
  • Install a water tank plumbed to flush the toilets
  • Provide lightweight chairs and table and chair moving trolleys

We are busy developing the detailed designs / Scopes of Work and getting competitive quotes for these 4 items, and expect to complete all of them in the course of this year. 
We would be delighted to hear from any of our members or supporters who have relevant knowledge or experience with solar and/or rainwater systems and would like to contribute to the projects.

The April storm of 2015 impacted on the Progress land with several large trees requiring attention to ensure their future safety. The felling and retention of the trees on site was undertaken to retain the habitat values of the timber.
