INGLEWOOD SWIMMING POOL
Following an evaluation of the existing children's pool at the Inglewood swimming complex, Council has resolved to expand the current works and replace the existing wading pool with a new beach entry pool for young swimmers. At an estimated cost of $100,000 the expanded works will eliminate the need for future repairs and/or replacement.

WORKS
The corner of McLean & Callandoon Streets in Goondiwindi is currently sandbagged to represent where new traffic islands will soon be installed. The sandbagging allows road users to adjust to the new conditions. The work is expected to commence around 9th November and is funded by the Federal Government Blackspot Funding program.

Other upcoming projects include drainage works Waggamba Road (near Town Common Road), Avon Street drainage, Beebo 17 Mile Road (various works) together with various road reseals.

INGLEWOOD SES OPEN DAY
The Inglewood SES are hosting an open day on Saturday 7 November from 9.30am to 1.30pm at the SES building. Showcasing equipment purchased by local fundraising, there will also be market stalls, providing a great day out. For further information contact local controller, Anne McGlashan on 0429 870 810.
