Opening ceremony planned for pavilion

 

An opening ceremony will be held at the Patonga Federation Pavilion upon its completion, expected next month.

The pavilion is the result of a combined effort by the Patonga Tennis, Sports, Social and Community Club (PTSS&CC), the Patonga Progress Association and Gosford Council.

Sports club member Jann Purcell said: "The building will stand proudly on the foreshore, providing shelter and an attractive recreation facility for residents and visitors.

"We look forward to the unveiling and plaque dedication on completion of the project,

"It is a real win for the community," said Ms Purcell.

A Commonwealth Government Centenary of Federation grant was allocated for the project and Gosford Council incorporated the building into a wider plan for Patonga.

"Council added parking improvements, a new amenities building and landscaping to the plan to create an attractive entrance to the village," said Gosford mayor Cr Robert Bell.

"Council continues to provide the lion's share of funding for improvements on behalf of the ratepayers.

"The opening ceremony will involve local residents, council, Commonwealth Government representatives and the Federation Grants Committee who have all been instrumental in the completion of the project."
