Bowls club contents put to good use

Furniture and equipment that served the members of the former Peregian Beach bowls club have found a new home.

Two community groups and the Salvation Army have shared the furniture, kitchenware, machinery and other items from the old Rufous Street building.

Noosa Council Community Services Director Alan ‘Fox’ Rogers said Council would also recycle the metal, glass and concrete salvaged from the site during demolition.

“Council has also saved various goods of sentimental, historic and functional value left stored at the old bowls club,” Mr Rogers said.

“We will look after lawn bowls honour boards, removed from the clubhouse, until we can find them a new home.

“Tewantin-Noosa Bowls Club will make use of the old scoreboard, bowls mat rack, mower, grinder and various items of crockery, and the Noosa Men’s Shed has taken 10 tables, 35 chairs and some crockery.

“The rest of the tables, chairs and kitchenware have been donated to the Salvation Army Accommodation Service where they will be put to good use,” Mr Rogers said.

Noosa Council began demolition work earlier this week to clear the site, which Council bought late last year.

Council will work with the community to develop a new use for the land.
