Member for Terrigal Adam Crouch has congratulated a funding win for the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association (WTCKA), who have been successful in their grant application to upgrade the kitchen at the historic Wagstaffe Hall.
While presenting a cheque for $25,000 to the association Mr. Crouch said it was a historic win for the community, as it was the first time they had applied for funding under the Community Building Partnership program.
“I am absolutely delighted to be able to present the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association with $25,000 to upgrade the Wagstaffe Hall’s dated kitchen, which is no longer suitable for the needs of the association and the community.”
“This is the first time in ten years the association has applied for funding, and I offer my congratulations to President Mike Allsop and the team at the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association for this tremendous achievement.”
“The funding will be used to refurbish kitchen cabinetry and benchtops, repaint the kitchen and replace the kitchen floor, while also providing for new kitchen appliances.” said Mr Crouch.
Mike Allsop, President of the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association said the hall is a great community asset and the upgrade of the kitchen is necessary for greater usage of the hall.
“We have several events that we run locally for the community which often relies on the existing kitchen having the facilities to cater for these events, and while our kitchen has served us well it has reached the end of its usage life.”
“We are looking to renew our kitchen and this upgrade will make it functional and fit for purpose, and this grant will enable us to do just that.” said Mr Allsop.
