Read the full storyThe Taylors Beach Progress Association (TBPA) is making strides in improving local amenities, undertaking a significant building extension to the existing toilet and storage facilities at Progress Park at no cost to council or ratepayers.
The $89,300 project, fully funded by the TBPA, has been made possible through a combination of successful fundraising events and a $35,000 Government grant. Most notably, proceeds from the annual Taylors Beach Family Fishing Tournament have helped raise a large portion of the funds.
With approval from the Hinchinbrook Shire Council, construction is well underway, awarded to Richard Peeke Building and Carpentry Services. Despite some weather challenges and trade shortages, progress is on track.
The upgrades include an additional toilet pedestal and two urinals to complement the existing single unisex toilet. These extra facilities will be locked when not needed to reduce cleaning costs, thereby avoiding unnecessary expenses that would otherwise be passed onto ratepayers.
On the other side of the building, the storage area has been extended and a new servery installed. This addition is set to greatly benefit community events by reducing the need for hired equipment such as portable toilets and marquees, as well as lowering the number of volunteers required to run events. The enhanced facility will be available for public use through the TBPA, with a bond system in place to cover cleaning and any damages.
A testament to the hard work and dedication of the TBPA, the project stands as a commendable example of what community-driven efforts can achieve.
