THE City of Casey has made a $200,000 grant toward the cost of the new $1.2 million Akoonah Park pavilion.
Akoonah Park management committee secretary Gayle Joyce said the building was well ahead of schedule.
“We expect it to be completed by the end of October.
“We anticipate that the first official function in the pavilion will be for the 2006 Berwick show.”
