The deck at Stillwater Community Hall is to be extended to increase useable space, with $60,000 budgeted for the work.
The hall opened just over a year ago, in May, and the facility is already well used by the community.
The hall build was funded by the Hibiscus & Bays Local Board, which ended up with a surplus of $63,000 left over from the project.
At its last meeting, on June 15, the local board agreed to use this money for an extension to the deck that will add 24sqm (the deck currently measures 44sqm).
Slatted barriers will be built on either side of the deck and stairs as a safety measure, and planter boxes will feature along the front edge.
Local board members said the facility is going from strength to strength, describing it as a great example of how a local community can run and manage a hall. It is run by a sub-committee of the Stillwater Ratepayers & Residents Association.
