THE municipal council which gave away $100 million promised for a new bridge, and lost $500,000 intended for Willow Court, has had a financial windfall from the Federal Government... without even asking for it. In Canberra this week, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced special infrastructure grants of $250 million to local councils around Australia. The Derwent Valley Council will receive $242,000 but must first come up with a suitable project and have it approved.
I have it!!! How about the DV Council build Tony Nicholsons "Stone wall" that heuses at council meetings. Then he will have a way of keeping the "minutes" out and the hours in.
ReplyDeleteI understand that the monies have to be specifically allocated to a project to support the community.... that means community halls, parks, etc etc - pity tho, because the rotten state of the local roads around the town leave much to be desired - another shame for the DV Council.
