Cottage renovation
31 August 2009
'The Cottage' - the former Principal's residence at the school - will be first to get the refurbishment treatment as part of the Community Facilities' project. Work is expected to begin within the next week and the building will be fenced off for the duration.
As earlier reported, it is intended that the Cottage becomes a 'Hall and District Neighbourhood Centre', available to all community groups and organisations for meetings, social gatherings, small functions etc.
When the adjacent garage is refurbished, it is intended that this becomes the hub for a Hall and District Mens Shed - a place for men to meet, talk, and use their skills or learn new ones. It is anticipated that a gathering of men interested in being part of this initiative will be convened later this year.
David Young the project manager for the Contractors Hindmarsh estimates completion in 5 weeks.
