Rebuild Molong’s $225,000 donation approved for three Molong projects
Unconfirmed minutes record Cabonne Council’s approval of the donation, with $75,000 each for Dr Ross Memorial Oval, Hunter Caldwell Fields and the Molong Showground Amenities Project.
Reporting from public council minutes. How this article was prepared
Three Molong facilities have been allocated $75,000 each from a $225,000 donation by Rebuild Molong that Cabonne Council approved accepting at its 27 October meeting, according to unconfirmed minutes.
The money is earmarked for Dr Ross Memorial Oval, Hunter Caldwell Fields and the Molong Showground Amenities Project. The resolution does not specify what work each allocation will fund or when the money will be transferred.
The motion was moved by Councillor Batten and seconded by Councillor Pearson, and was recorded as carried. The minutes record the allocation, but do not establish that any funds have been spent or that construction has begun.
No delivery timetable is included in the public minutes.
What deserves a closer look
The resolution records allocations to the three projects but does not state what works they will fund, when funds will be transferred or whether any work has started.
The three allocations total $225,000: three multiplied by $75,000.
Item 13 is recorded as carried in P50 under resolution 26/10/14. The carried result at the start of P49 belongs to the preceding item. No numerical vote tally is supplied for Item 13.
Questions for follow-up reporting
When will the $225,000 be transferred or made available for the three projects?
What works will each $75,000 allocation fund, and when are they expected to be completed?
