Upper Lachlan Shire Council will benefit from $243,242 in funding to support the installation of tiling for the toddler and program pools under the NSW Government’s Infrastructure Grants program.
Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman said the funding will help the Council progress the project that has been long-awaited by the community.
“This is a significant funding contribution towards the MAAC and represents another essential piece of the puzzle towards getting the pool completed.
Chief Executive Officer, Alex Waldron thanked the NSW Government for the additional funding.
“The project is progressing well with the swimming pool plant and equipment installation being finalised. The outdoor pools are currently being prepared for the liner and tiles and the surrounding paving is under construction.
“Following the liquidation of the previous contractor and a number of rectification requirements, this funding is a welcome addition to the extremely tight budget.”
Since the inception of the program, hundreds of projects have been successful across the State in acquiring funding.
Mrs Tuckerman said Infrastructure Grants are an important part of supporting the local economy and supporting community groups.
Infrastructure Grants are made possible through the NSW Government’s ClubGrants Category 3 Fund, which reinvests a contribution from the state’s registered clubs’ gaming machine profits back into community projects.
“These grants are helping the entire Goulburn electorate, but with two projects in Crookwell, I am delighted for the town boosting active outdoor recreation.
Since 2013, the NSW Government has funded over 536 community projects worth $105 million under the Infrastructure Grants program
