Wondai Show Society president Dennis Morris shows off the new demountable shower and toilet block unit being installed at the Wondai Showgrounds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 27, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Wondai Show Society will save $4000 a year from now on thanks to a $35,000 grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund and an extra $5000 from Stanwell Corporation.<\/p>\n

The Show Society put the funds into buying a demountable six-unit toilet and shower block, which will get its first public use at the Wondai Show next month.<\/p>\n

But after the Show concludes, the Show Society expects caravanners will also find it a very welcome permanent addition to the Showgrounds’ facilities.<\/p>\n

President Dennis Morris said the Show Society had used internet auction site Grays Online to source the unit, which was formerly owned by a mining company.<\/p>\n

“It was in very good condition and would probably have cost upwards of $70,000 or more brand new,” Dennis said.<\/p>\n

“So we purchased it and arranged to have it transported to Wondai, then mounted it onto a new concrete slab.”<\/p>\n

The group have been spending the time since then connecting up the wiring and plumbing to get the new facility ready for use.<\/p>\n

The unit has six, fully self-contained combined toilet and shower cubicles.<\/p>\n

One improvement the Show Society has made is to install gas water heaters, which deliver hot water almost as soon as a shower is turned on.<\/p>\n

The group also plans to put an awning over the front of the unit in coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Dennis estimated the new block will have cost about $45,000 by the time work is complete.<\/p>\n

But since the Show Society normally spend $4000 every year to hire similar facilities for the Show, he expects to break even on the deal by the end of this year.<\/p>\n

Dennis said the Wondai Show Society were very grateful to the Gambling Community Benefit Fund and Stanwell for their support.<\/p>\n

“We simply wouldn’t have had the funds to do this ourselves without their help,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
