Council has rejected the offer to take over ownership oi the 107-year-old St Faith’s Anglican Church at Mondure earlier this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A community meeting to discuss the future of the Mondure Anglican Church will be held at Mondure Hall on Thursday (October 3).<\/p>\n

All Mondure residents have been invited to attend.<\/p>\n

In January this year, the previous South Burnett council team formally declined an offer from the Anglican Church to take over ownership of St Faith’s Anglican Church and its related cemetery.<\/p>\n

However, they were willing to negotiate a potential sub-division to split the cemetery away from St Faith’s lot and take over maintenance of this area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At an earlier meeting,\u00a0 several councillors admitted they were reluctant to accept the Anglican Church’s offer because of the significant costs ratepayers would face to bring the 107-year-old church building up to modern standards.<\/p>\n

These would include painting the building’s exterior, re-roofing, re-stumping, connecting water and building an amenities block.<\/p>\n
