sealed. The outcome includes uninterrupted access to private
properties due to deep channel erosion, reduced maintenance
expenditure at these locations, improved parking, safer road network
and a positive outcome for the community. A total amount of $150,000
was expended on this Program.
An amount of $12,797 has been expended on this program which
represents approximately 100 lineal metres of reconstructed kerb &
gutter. This work would not have been possible without the additional
funding and provides for a much safer road network with improved
drainage. Council’s exposure to potential litigation resulting from trips
and falls is also reduced.
The additional funds of $67,203 enabled many additional drainage
channels, pipes and pits to be cleared thus preventing localised
flooding during heavy rainfall.
$7,000 was expended on the purchase of new equipment, enabling
utility services to be located underground.
Roof ladder hatch modifications were undertaken in the amount of
$15,000, in accordance with new safety requirements.
The amount of $12,000 enabled an upgrade of the data cabling
between the Administration Building and Deerubbin Centre, to improve
the speed of the IT network.
The vinyl floor in the kitchen area was replaced, in the amount of
$3,500.
This project was undertaken in an effort to improve the water quality of
the roof water entering the rain water tank. The project cost was
$3,000.
Replacement of the existing kitchen facility within the pre-school, in the
amount of $16,000.
