WIRAC grandstand’s up and running

THE structural repair work on the WIRAC granstand is now complete, and the seating area has been re-opened following its closure last year.
Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) business and community services director David Tuxford said council had undertaken a comprehensive assessment of the fault in the grandstand structure and the repair work would mean the grandstand was ready for swimming carnivals and other events.
“Council staff have removed the temporary fencing yesterday and the grandstand is open today,” he said last Wednesday.
“Council apologises for the inconvenience and the delay in rectifying the issue however we now have the area fully functional again.”
SDRC fenced off the granstand following advice from engineering company Cardno.
