According to the report the Young Sewer Main Renewal Work (Loan Funded) has a current available budget of $442,637 and was originally set up to provide funding for a trunk sewer main to support the new sewage treatment plant in Young.
"This work has since been completed without expending all loan funds," the report said.
At the November Ordinary Meeting Council resolved to receive and note the report and to allocate $442,637 to the Young Sewer Rectification Works from Project 600093 - Young Sewer Main Renewal Work (Loan Funded).
The recommendation was moved by Cr Flanery and Cr Davis and was unanimous.
