Hall Kitchen Renovation Begins

In early July 2017, members of the Beltana Progress Association gathered to begin the renovations of the Hall kitchen. 

The first day saw the removal of the external door and the internal cladding of the back wall while other members put together all the new fittings. 

Following days saw the back wall reconstructed and then the whole room was repainted.  The next stage will be installing the new flooring and fittings resulting in a new commercial standard kitchen for our town hall.

Beltana Community Picnic Grounds

In mid 2016 Beltana Progress Association, in partnership with the Outback Communities Authority, secured funds from two grants for the development of a Community Picnic Grounds. The historic Water Reserve in the middle of town was chosen as the location for this project and work commenced in late 2016. 

Finally finished!

The area is already getting a lot of use from tourists and locals alike. The Solar BBQ was connected to the grid in July 2017 and will be used for community gatherings soon!

So far, a total of 50 locally native trees have been planted which will provide shade and dust management in coming years as well as making it visually more appealing.

Many groups and individuals helped achieve this fantastic outcome for the community and the Progress Association would like to especially thank all of the community members who spent so much time and effort on various work days, the OCA, for auspicing and aquitting the grants to make the project possible and all the contractors who provided professional services.
