Help with maintenance
Four community groups have received funding to maintain their buildings under Gosford Council's annual Community Facility Support Program.
The program aims to assist with the cost of maintenance, repairs or improvements to community buildings.
The Peninsula Women's Health Centre received $1430 for the installation of an air conditioning unit in its new meeting room while the Peninsula Community Centre received $6000 for the complete replacement of its front entry doors and frames.
Pearl Beach Memorial Community Hall received $2171.50 for the removal of a large, above ground LP gas tank from its present position and its replacement with an in-ground tank.
The Woy Woy Bays Community Hall received $3000 for the modification of the toilet.
The applications were assessed by a panel of officers from Community and Cultural Development section of council.
All nine applicants received full funding except the Peninsula Women's Health Centre which received only $1430 of the requested $2860.
Council's report of Tuesday, November 22, stated this was due to the applicant submitting three quotes that varied significantly in cost and the determination by the assessment panel that this project was of a lower priority.
