🚧 Works Update - 2 September 2026 🚧
Kyogle Memorial Recreation Centre is really starting to take shape, with the roof on the sports hall expected to be completed by the end of the week.
All structural steelwork has now been finished and most of the internal framing is in place. The contractor is continuing with external cladding works while progressing internal fit-out activities, including electrical installation.
Once completed, the centre will feature ceiling-mounted basketball hoops, netball facilities, indoor soccer goal posts, and line marking for a range of sports. The facility will also include a multi-purpose meeting space with a kitchenette, a parents' room, and public amenities. The hall will be available for community and sporting event hire and will also serve as an evacuation centre during emergencies, providing an important community asset for the region.
The rainfall experienced in the middle of last week caused minor delays to the approach works at Montgomerys Bridge, with the concrete approach slabs completed later than originally scheduled. This week, the crew is undertaking site clean-up and completing the remaining approach works. Pavement construction and bitumen sealing are programmed for completion on Friday.
Clarkes Lane Bridge – preparation works are underway for the concrete deck pour scheduled for mid-week. Once the deck pour is complete, abutment backfilling and approach earthworks are planned for later in the week.
Reconstruction works on Gardner Lane have recommenced, with kerb and gutter construction now underway.
