July 30, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kingaroy Netball Courts are getting a makeover, courtesy of a local work-for-the-dole project being co-ordinated by South Burnett CTC.<\/p>\n

For the past four weeks, workers have spent their Mondays and Tuesdays at the courts in Fisher Street, and they have at least another six weeks of work to do.<\/p>\n

They have removed graffiti from the old netball clubhouse and are now sanding down the building – which is used as a store room – in preparation for two coats of paint.<\/p>\n

Not all the unemployed people working on the project have to be there; there are also volunteers joining in, hoping to gain skills which will improve their chances of gaining employment.<\/p>\n

Yvonne Toohey, from the Kingaroy Netball Association, said the project was a huge help for the club.<\/p>\n

“Like every other sports association we have only a small amount of volunteers, and everyone is so busy,” she said.<\/p>\n

The CTC team also plans to put spectator seats along the courtside, replace the hoops, repaint the court lines and install storage shelves in the main clubhouse.<\/p>\n

All up, the work should be worth between $5000 and $10,000 for the club.<\/p>\n

Yvonne said the makeover was part of a bigger plan to be able to host regional carnivals at the courts.<\/p>\n

CTC Employment Co-ordinator \/ Trainer Natalie Prenol said the club was paying for the materials but CTC was providing the tools and personal protective equipment necessary to get the jobs done.<\/p>\n

The CTC Community Assistance Project is providing a number of not-for-profit organisations across the South Burnett with the labour to complete maintenance and improvements at their facilities.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next jobs proposed for the workers are at the South Burnett Junior Motorcycle centre.<\/p>\n

Natalie said this project could provide the opportunity for some of the workers to get a “working at height” ticket.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The CTC Community Assistance Project\u00a0will run for six months.<\/p>\n

“We hope to assist as many not-for-profit organisations as we can in this time frame,” Natalie said.<\/p>\n

“Each volunteer will gain practical skillsets including painting, minor construction, building maintenance and grounds maintenance.<\/p>\n

“They will also access a large number of potential employers which may lead to sustainable employment.<\/p>\n

“The project is aimed to assist long-term unemployed\u00a0 jobseekers to obtain skills, knowledge and experience to then be transferred and\/or applied in the workplace.<\/p>\n

“It will also enable jobseekers to not only have a sense of community involvement but improve their work readiness, motivation, confidence and self-esteem as well as gaining a routine which can be applied directly to any workplace.”<\/p>\n

Work for the Dole is a Federal Government initiative.<\/p>\n
