KEMPS CREEK SHELTER
 Not withstanding the inclement weather, further progress has taken place.
The Surrender Facility is complete externally and work continues on the painting, flooring fit out.  It is anticipated that this facility will be ready to view on 28th June, the day of our 50th Anniversary Tree Planting.
Likewise, the shed/amenities building is complete externally and fitting out and painting is currently underway.
The Elizabeth Drive right hand turn lane and entrance to the shelter is finalized and awaiting RTA sign off.  The internal roads have been delayed due to the heavy rains we have experienced over the last two weeks.
Other delays due to weather has been the construction of the water storage tanks.
To view the current status of the buildings please join us on 28th June for our  Commemorative Tree Planting, commencing at 11am.
 
We still need your financial assistance to help us to complete further stages and the fitout of Stage 1.
Should you be able to assist and would like to sponsor a particular part of the Shelter, please contact us on 1800 880 190.
