I have received many favourable comments regarding Back to Jimna and the Kilcoy Lions Christmas Carnival.  I would like to acknowledge those responsible for organising the events.  Hopefully both events will become regular entries on our calendar of events.

Congratulations to the students involved with “War on Waste” (Kilcoy State High School) and Kilcoy State School Awards Ceremony and End of Year Celebration.  When asked about each project on War on Waste, students were eager to share their knowledge of the subject and how they researched their particular project.  It is reassuring that this important universal issue is gaining greater understanding at school level.

I was impressed by the delivery of the Kilcoy State SchoolAwards Ceremony (Year 3 – 6) and End of Year Celebration (Prep to Year 2).  Students of all ages displayed confidence by hosting their end of school year events.

I cannot express how proud I am to see this project take shape. Many thanks to Council staff and our new Council Team for making this happen. The Kilcoy Indoor Sports Steering Committee worked hard during our last term to arrive at the very best way forward with respect to this very much needed project.The development application seeks approval for an extension to Indoor sport and recreation, on land at 35-37 Hope Street, Kilcoy. The proposed development will be staged by converting the existing shed to provide for the new gymnasium and gymnastics hall and multipurpose rooms as Stage 1 and the multipurpose indoor sports courts as Stage 2.The existing Kilcoy Indoor Sport Centre building has an area of 1,383m2 and contains a gymnasium around an indoor cricket net. A gymnastics area is located at the eastern end of the building. Additional infrastructure on site includes an external basketball court with a hardstand area of approximately 450m2 located at the rear of the building. A 12m x 6m shed is also located at the rear of the building. A 12m x 3m transportable building is located to the west of the main sports centre building.
