Upgrades for crucial town halls
SIX community halls are to be upgraded as part of key election commitments made by the LNP.
They are:
$352,000 for the Kuranda Hall (Queensland Country Women’s Association)
$350,000 for the Stratford Bowls Club
$321,000 for the Koah Hall (Mareeba Shire Council)
$150,000 for the Yorkeys Knob Community Hall (Cairns Regional Council)
$562,240 for the Machan’s Beach Hall (Machan’s Beach Community Association)
$250,000 for the Holloway’s Beach Community Hall (Cairns Regional Council).
The halls have played an integral role in facilitating community recovery, particularly throughout Tropical Cyclone Jasper and the North Queensland floods.
Families, Seniors and Disability Services Minister Amanda Camm said the upgrades covered from re-surfacing carparks to installing generators.
Member for Barron River Bree James said during the Jasper floods, the halls served as essential shelter for those who lost their homes.
