2008–10 Designs have been finalised for shade structures to
be installed at the skate park in early 2011 in time
for National Youth Week celebrations.
2008–10 Delays were experienced in the design and
approval stages however a plan of works was
finalised in 2010 and work is scheduled to
commence in 2011.
2008–10 This role has helped develop a Master Plan
for a new Recreation Grounds and Equestrian
Centre in Cloncurry and helped secure funding
for the Cloncurry Community Precinct project,
improvements at the PCYC Activity Hall and for
a new Sport and Recreation Coordinator position
within the Council. Since this role was established,
the Community Development function has been
given more emphasis within the Council, with
a full-time and a part time staff member now
employed and more growth expected in 2011.
2009–10 The Council held a Community Information
Session in November to share concept designs
for the Cloncurry Community Precinct project
with the community. Positive feedback was
received. Detailed designs will be shared with
the community early in 2011 and construction is
expected to commence during the year.
