Bonnie Doon Community Centre Restumping Project

Published on 11 March 2022

Mansfield Shire Council has spent $22,594 on the Bonnie Doon Community Centre. The building has been restumped with concrete stumps and the old wooden structures that had been causing uneven floors in the centre for a long time have been replaced.

Council’s General Manager Infrastructure and Planning Kirsten Alexander said Council was pleased with the efforts of the contractor, Mr Stumpy, on completing the project within quick turnaround times.

“The Bonnie Doon Community Centre is an important asset, and we want to make sure it’s maintained safely so the community can continue to enjoy the centre long into the future,” said Ms Alexander.

The restumping process involved placing jacks to support the floor as the worn out red gum stumps were dug out and removed. Once the old stumps were removed from the base, new concrete stumps were inserted in their place.

Secretary of the Bonnie Doon Community Centre Graham Peck said they were really pleased with the recent works ensuring the building is safe for future use.

”We are very appreciative of the support from Council on this project,” said Mr Peck.

The Community Centre is used for access to medical appointments, line dancing, computer clinics, youth group, mental health support, yoga and other community-based social, recreational and educational programs. 

The Bonnie Doon Community Centre restumping project was fully funded by Council.
