Projects set to begin

Wollongong City Council will take on 10 long-awaiting projects after receiving Federal funding last week. The grant will go towards infrastructure programs in the region including disabled access for the Continental Pool and Illawarra Performing Art Centre. The funding will also go towards a new building fro the storage of lifeguard rescue equipment at Stanwell Park Beach, footpath improvements and Belmore Basin and Flagstaff Hill and a playground in the Civic Plaza. The sporting fields in the Illawarra also received funding for projects as Reed Park at Dapto, Darcy Wentworth Park in Warrawong and Rex Jackson Park at Helensburgh. Security improvements at Dapto Mall have also benefited from the Federal Government grant. The projects are set to begin in February this year.
