Page pledges $100,000 for Bangalow swimming pool
Member for Ballina Don Page has announced a NSW Liberal/Nationals Coalition Government would provide $100,000 towards the construction of the Bangalow pool.
Mr Page said the financial support would allow the planned swimming pool project, which is being advanced by the Bangalow Pool Trust in consultation with Byron Shire Council, to become a reality.
He said he hoped construction of the pool would commence during 2007, subject to council approval and the NSW Coalition winning the State Election on March 24 2007.
“The Bangalow community has worked extremely hard to secure a significant amount of financial and in-kind support for this pool project,” Mr Page said.
“A pool would be well utilised in Bangalow by the entire community and is a project that has been on the agenda for some time.
“The injection of $100,000 would allow the project to start as soon as possible once council approval has been granted.
“The Bangalow pool is a fine example of a community based initiative that the NSW Coalition is proud to support.”
Mr Page said the last time the Coalition was in government he pledged and delivered $100,00 for the Mullumbimby Pool which has been a great community facility for that community
