Three Springs Community Hall Centre

At Councils May Forum it was agreed to submit for public comment to change the name of the Community Recreation Centre to that of the Three Springs Community Hall.  It is anticipated this will elevate the situation of the building confused at being located at the Three Springs Recreastion Gound where football, hockey, netball are played.

Street and Rural Road Numbering

Council is currently investigating a set of standards for both Town Street and Rural Road numbering.  At the present time the Three Springs Townsite has already been street numbered, with the rural roads still to be numbered.  The purpose of the numbering will assist the emergency services, Police and just simply identify your property when you have visitors.

As part of this process Council is 'seeking expressions of interest' from any Local Organisation that are prepared to take this on as a fundraiser for their organisation.
