Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said work is well under way on upgrades to Coffs Harbour Showground’s Exhibition Hall, thanks to $3.2m in NSW Government funding.
Mr Singh said the funding, under the COVID-19 Showground Stimulus Program, is helping to breathe new life into the Exhibition Hall.
“This important project now taking shape includes a one-bay extension to the Exhibition Hall, construction of a new entry, meeting rooms, state-of-the-art amenities and new dedicated parking for people with disabilities,” Mr Singh said.
“This State Government investment will ensure the iconic Coffs Harbour Showground continues to serve our community for many years to come.
“Upgrades like this are improving the quality of community infrastructure while helping to stimulate our local economy, with work for local tradies and materials suppliers.”
Deb Farquhar, Chairman of Coffs Harbour Showground Crown Land Management Board, said she’s excited about the commencement of the refurbishment, which has been several years in the planning.
“We look forward to working with local builder Joel Paine from Level Projects Pty Ltd,” Mrs Farquhar said.
“I’d like to thank our local MP Gurmesh Singh and the NSW Government for this funding allocation.”
