The
purchase of this block of land will enable the rebuild of the Kiah Hall is
vitality important to the Kiah Community. The block is an acre in size and
along side the original of the Kiah Hall. It will enable us to build on
a flat piece of ground giving access to all sides of a new building. It
is a much better site for disable access. |

I will be speaking against the staff recommendation. After over 5 years of discussions between council and user groups it has become quite clear that the site is not large enough to accommodate all the user groups. It would be disgrace to spend 8.5 million and have the rugby league facilities hardly improved with the kiosk facilities well below what they were over 5 years ago when the ceiling was burnt on the old one. I will be asking that if council still prefer option 1 or 2 which is against the wishes of current users that they do the costings and modelling on both before a final decision is made. |
