Council lends support to Laidley Show Society

 LOCKYER Valley Regional Council at its ordinary meeting last week agreed to assist the Laidley Show Society in re-building their grandstand.
As was well publicised, the Show Society lost its grandstand and offices due to fire in 2009. The Show Society is keen to move ahead with their project to construct a new pavilion, kitchen and toilets.
They have been working with Neumann Properties, who are neighbours of the society, to plan the project.
Council agreed to waive any building application and certification fees that would be involved in the project as well as any plumbing fees involved.
These fees were not paid as part of the Show Society’s insurance claim and Council will waive them as in-kind support.
Council also will provide the Show Society with approximately 240 cubic metres of road base where the new building is to be constructed.
Council will also provide further assistance to the show society by removing 750mm of sub-grade material and replace it with more appropriate CBR 15 road base. The amount involved is approx 500m3 compacted.
This further assistance to the show society will bring Council’s total contribution to helping the organisation re-build the grandstand to approx $17,500.
The funds required to assist the Show Society with the waiving of the fees and also the road base will be provided for out of Council’s Community Assistance program.
