Work is steadily progressing on the upgrade of the Hall, with more milestones recently reached.

Plasterboard sheeting has now been installed throughout the upgraded toilet areas, and the plumber has completed all under-slab rough-in works.

Despite ongoing wet weather affecting ground conditions in Mallacoota, the builder’s team is continuing with slab preparation to keep the project moving forward.

We appreciate the community’s patience as we work through these weather challenges and look forward to delivering a more functional and improved facility for all to enjoy.

The building contractor has completed work on the retaining wall, an important structural element of the upgrade. Now complete, attention has turned to finishing the front entrance slab and progressing with the lift installation, both of which are key to improving accessibility and functionality.
