The Byron Shire Council says it hopes to retain a community asset, Mullumbimby’s old Scout Hall, after being flood-damaged and in need of repairs.
Byron Shire Council Manager Open Spaces Malcolm Robertson told The Echo, ‘The old Scout Hall in Mullumbimby sustained damage from recent and past flooding events over many decades’.
Reconstruction
‘The building has now reached a point where major reconstruction is required to bring the building up to a fit-for-purpose condition and compliance with current standards’ said Mr Robertson.
‘Council is currently working to confirm the scope of works and the cost to retain the building on site,’ he said.
‘Our focus is retaining the building on the site’.
