/in NEWSCouncil plans to build multi-purpose community facility/sports hall
/in NEWSKyogle Council is planning to build stage one of a multi-purpose community facility that provides sport and leisure, cultural and recreational opportunities for people of all ages and can also serve as an evacuation centre during emergencies.
The proposed Kyogle Memorial Recreation Centre will provide flexible spaces that at its heart is a contemporary sports and youth activities hall complemented by activity rooms, an office, and modern amenities including a parents room — to view the design plans click here.
Council is planning to build the Rec Centre on Council land known as Memorial Park which has as its central feature the Kyogle War Memorial and also accommodates the existing Youth Centre which operates part time from a small building.
It is proposed that:
- A wide range of sports could be played at “Rec Centre” including netball, basketball, volleyball, futsal, pickleball, badminton
- The Rec Centre would be available for use by local primary and secondary schools as well as youth groups during and outside of school hours
- The flexible activity rooms, which include a kitchenette, could be used as two smaller or one larger meeting room
- These rooms could be adapted to host cultural programs, music, youth activities, and events for all ages
- The Rec Centre’s design honours the existing memorial space, ensuring it remains a focal point during ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day and other commemorations
- The Rec Centre would become a wet weather alternative gathering point for events at the Cenotaph
- During emergencies, the building would serve as an evacuation centre, linking to the existing commercial kitchen in the Community Centre on Bloore Street
- The design features a covered concrete forecourt and covered entryway/ramp
- A new path would link the Rec Centre to Bloore Street and the Community Centre
- The Rec Centre forms stage 1 of what will be a larger facility including a gym and indoor pools
- Future stages would be built as funding becomes available.
A development application for the proposed Rec Centre is on public exhibition.
Woodenbong Cemetery road extended
/in NEWSKyogle Council has extended and upgraded the road at Woodenbong Cemetery, delivering improved access and parking for the community.
The gravel road has been upgraded to an all-weather surface and extended by 170 metres – it now runs right to the bottom of the cemetery. Additional car parking also has been installed.
The $40,000 project was fully funded by Council and follows recent upgrades to visitor facilities at the cemetery, which included the installation of a composting toilet, a covered picnic table and bench seating.
Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland said the works responded to community concerns and were about ensuring the cemetery was safe, accessible and welcoming for all.
“We listened, and we’ve delivered improvements that make the cemetery more accessible and user-friendly for everyone,” Cr Mulholland said.
“Cemeteries are important places of reflection and remembrance for our community. By extending the road and adding extra parking, we’ve made it easier for people to visit the cemetery in all weather conditions.”
Cr Mulholland said Council was committed to continuing to improve community facilities across the local government area.
“This project, along with the earlier installation of a composting toilet, picnic facilities and seating, ensures Woodenbong Cemetery is a respectful, accessible and comfortable space for families and visitors alike,” she said.
