Swing bridge upgrade delayed
AS WORK budgeted for the swinging bridge cannot be completed before June 30, 2023, Collie Shire Council has reallocated the $200,000 earmarked for it.
Chief executive officer Stuart Devenish told councillors the funding from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure fund would be withdrawn if it was not spent by the end of the 2022/23 financial year.

Some of the funds will be redistributed to the Jack Mears Spring boardwalk. An additional project to receive some of the funds is refurbishment of the Wallsend Ground power network.
An assessment of the power poles at Wallsend Ground identified a number of electrical safety issues with the existing infrastructure.
The estimated cost of this project is $100,000, and contractors have assured council it can be delivered by June 30.
