A special investigation by Southern FM newsman Colin Tyrus has revealed the true cost of an arts centre project being funded by Bayside ratepayers is $1.6 million dollars higher than claimed by Council. In this podcast, Bayside Mayor Cr Fiona Stitfold agrees that the revamp of the Beaumaris Art Group studios will cost $6.2 million, as revealed by Southern FM, not the previously announced amount of $4.6 million. Southern FM can also reveal that the $10-million-dollar-plus Brighton Recreational Centre is still sitting empty despite being officially opened last November. The Council budget has another half-a-million dollars earmarked for childcare at the Rec Centre, but the Mayor says there is still no firm date for community groups to access the facility.Related Posts:
