Toogoolawah gym gets expansion
Users of the Toogoolawah Community Gym will soon benefit from an extension to the popular facility.
The site will increase by 100sqm, allowing for additional classes and activities to be held at the gym, and more car parks will be constructed.
The expansion has been made possible after Somerset Regional Council was successful in obtaining a $250,000 Queensland Government grant, of which it will co-contribute $250,000.
Somerset Mayor, Jason Wendt, said the expansion would be a welcome addition to the users of the facility.
“The growth and usage of this facility since the gym was built has been phenomenal, so it’s great to see an expansion is already needed and now in the pipeline for delivery,” Cr Wendt said.
Cr Wendt said Council had also recently adopted a new Sporting Infrastructure Strategy, which holistically looks at active and healthy initiatives and investments across the region.
“It’s great that we’re able to get off on the right foot with this project at the Toogoolawah Community Gym,” Cr Wendt said.
