24th September, 2024.
It's great to see grant funding benefit the whole community, and this is definitely the case for the multiple clubs and organisations that will benefit from the update to Douglas Park Community Hall. The Douglas Park 355 Committee/Wollondilly Shire Council successfully secured a NSW Government Community Building Partnership Grant 2023 for the hall, and in early September I was pleased to be invited to share a cup of tea and witness what has been installed. An energy-efficient ducted air conditioning system will be a game changer, making this well-used space comfortable for activities, exercise promotion, social and family engagements, and playgroup. It will regulate temperature and help circulate and filter the air, which will be a godsend during the blistering summer months! It was great to catch up and spend time with those representing their various organisations, clubs and groups including the Douglas Park 355 Committee, Douglas Park Menangle Netball Club, Douglas Park Wilton Physical Culture Club, and many others. I congratulate all the Wollondilly Electorate organisations that were successful in their 2023 application and look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area.
