Somerset Council briefs
Highlights from the Somerset Regional Council meeting held on 27 May 2009 included:
Lowood waste transfer station not to proceed
Council has resolved to not proceed with plans to relocate the Coominya waste transfer station to Lowood following community consultation over the proposal.
Engineers, architects appointed to fast track projects
Council will appoint the same team of architects and consulting engineers to undertake both the plans for the $4 million Fernvale Indoor Sports Centre and the $460,000 Kilcoy library expansion in order to fast track both projects.
The same teams were involved with previous council projects including Esk library and Fernvale Futures Complex.
Australian Government funding of $2.1 million for the Fernvale Indoor Sports Centre comes with a requirement that all plans and approvals for the centre must be completed within 6 months.
The Kilcoy library project will be entirely funded by the Council.
Pedestrian Crossing at Lowood Recreation Complex
Council has released funds to construct a new $20,000 crossing over a gully at the entrance to Lowood Recreation Complex to provide a second pedestrian access to the popular facility.
