KONDININ KRUZERS PRESENTS KONDININ BURNOUTS SATURDAY 7th APRIL 2018

After a long break in burnouts in town, Kondinin Kruzers ran their inaugural event on Saturday 7" April 2018. With entrants coming from Merredin, Perth, Denmark and all places in between, they enjoyed hours of open pad time, then 2 qualifying rounds plus night finals. With the small but dedicated committee reaching their aim of over 15 entrants & 100 spectators for the day, everyone came away satisfied. Many thanks to our sponsors, volunteers & the P &C for catering. Our aim was to provide a fundraiser for the Kondinin School & to lock Kondinin’s name back into the burnout calendar. We aim to supply the best camping outside of Perth, quality trophies and a well run competition.

KONDININ COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTRE UPDATE

After several years of planning and securing funding the Kondinin Shire Council have now engaged A Corp

Construction to complete the extensions to the Kondinin Community Recreation Centre. Work will com-

mence on the building on the 16th April 2018 and is scheduled to be completed by February 2019. The scope

of the extension comprises the enlarging the multi-purpose room area, the expansion of the kitchen, upgrades

and enlarging of the ladies toilets including three new showers, upgrades to the male toilets, a universal access

toilet, a new front entrance, a new roof and new canopies on the northern and southern elevations.

Funding for this project has been provided by the Shire of Kondinin, the Kondinin Community Recreation

Council, the Wheatbelt Development Commission and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural

Industries.

During the nine month period of construction the Kondinin Community Recreation Centre will not be accessible

to the public. However all playing surfaces within the Kondinin Sports Precinct will remain operational through-

out this coming 2018 winter season and 2018/2019 summer sporting season. Individual sporting clubs are re-

sponsible for ensuring that suitable arrangements for access to toilets, afternoon tea and post-match activities are

in place through liaison with the Kondinin Community Recreation Council where required.

For any queries relating to bookings of the Pavilion and the Kondinin Community Recreation Centre or general

sporting club operational matters during this construction period, please contact the Secretary of the Kondinin

facility that our community and broader district can enjoy.
