General Business
Gerard Irwin who is the building inspector from Chinchilla inspected the oven and we have been informed that the Council will pay a contractor to have the oven removed. It does have asbestos and it is also unsafe. The inspector also found asbestos in the old school and it will have to be taken by a registered carrier to the dump in Toowoomba. The carrier is Mark Burke – phone 0417 773461. We need to sort out with the owners who pays for what. Peter is trying to get in touch with Lennie Veivers for a report on the asbestos situation.
Peter suggested that we now have 3 options. 1. to forget about it 2. pay $5000 and we take the building 3. pay nothing but clean the site.
There may be a possibility of in kind work from the Council. We will apply for the next grant when it is appropriate to do so. Peter will inform Brendan that the project is presently at a standstill.
The bag elevator is to be taken to the Dalby museum.
A working bee is to be organized to erect the sheep fence and to attend to odd jobs.
