Construction tenders for the Kiah and Wandella community halls that were both destroyed during the Black Summer bushfires were awarded in December to South Coast building company, Edwards Constructions, engaged to build both halls, starting early 2023.
The company has successfully completed several Bega Valley Shire Council projects using a network of local contractors and suppliers.
Both halls are scheduled for completion by mid-2023.
Council thanked local community groups and stakeholders for their involvement in developing deigns and plans. The project was made possible through the NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery fund.

Destroyed during the 2019/20 bushfires, Wandella Hall was first built in 1909 and has been a keystone building for the Wandella and Yowrie communities for over one hundred years.
