Play space nets funding THE sounds of bouncing basketballs and children enjoying a healthy break outside of the house are one step closer to becoming reality with the release of funding in the recent Sunshine Coast Council budget. Council allocated $75,000 in its June budget toward the multi-purpose courts that form stage 1 of the play space proposed to be built between the Recreation Club carpark and the recreation fields this financial year. Division 9 Councillor Steve Robinson said he was so keen to see progress on the project he was “committing a
further $75,000 from the next financial year so that we have $150,000 in total to construct the first stage of the project.” “The remainder of the project will be considered as part of future budget processes,” Cr Robinson said. “Council expects to have the final designs of this project finalised by September.” Other budget highlights for Division 9 include $490,000 to revitalise Jack Morgan Park at Coolum and $360,000 for Coolum Aquatic Centre upgrades.
