Part of Sundstrup Park has been identified as a potential site for the much-discussed Wondai Men’s Shed.
The area, which is bounded by Bramston and South streets, currently also houses the Wondai tennis courts, netball courts, an off-leash dog park and is the burial site for Wondai’s much-loved Charlotte the Emu who died in 2014.
Cr Ros Heit told Wednesday’s South Burnett Regional Council meeting the only hitch to the proposal was there was Non-Exclusive Native Title existent over a section of the block.
However, the Wakka Wakka PBC – the authorised body which was appointed by the Federal Court to manage Native Title on behalf of the Native Title holders – had been approached.
Cr Heit said she believed they could support the proposal, however, a legal agreement would have to be drawn up.
A portion of Sundstrup Park, near the netball courts, is the suggested location for the Men’s Shed.
Other sites which have been discussed as possible locations are 54-56 Burrows Street (part of the Wondai Industrial Estate) and Queensland Rail land closer to the Wondai CBD.
Member for Flynn Colin Boyce met Wondai Men’s Shed members and visited possible locations with councillors during his recent pre-election visit to Wondai.
