MEDIA RELEASE 6 October 2010
Circular Head Hall of Fame certain to be well used
The opening of the Circular Head Hall of Fame this week will provide a great opportunity to recognise some of the community’s leaders and achievers said the Federal Member for Braddon, Sid Sidebottom. Mr Sidebottom officially opened the Hall of Fame on Wednesday, after it was built with $825,000 in funding from the Federal Labor Government’s Better Regions program. “The Circular Head community is well recognised as one that produces some fantastic sports people and community achievers,” Mr Sidebottom said. “In fact it was this region which produced the only Tasmanian born Prime Minister, along with a number of national representatives on the sporting field. “This new building, as part of the Circular Head Community and Recreation Centre, will give the opportunity to honour their achievements.” Mr Sidebottom said many of the potential nominees were present at the launch, and some had even played a roll in getting the facility up and running. “Gerald Kay and his committee have been very persistent in working toward this, with strong support from the Circular Head Council. “Together with the designers GHD and builders Carter and Franks and many other contractors they have delivered a centre which will be the envy of many communities around the country.”
