Mount Gambier City Council this evening voted to approve additional funding for its Beacon Art Project which was recently quoted at $136,250, despite the initial budget being $80,000.

I sat in the gallery tonight with 3 other members of the public to listen to comments made by our Mayor and elected members, of which 5 voted Yes… 2 voted No… thank you Kate and Mark for listening to your community… may I suggest please if you are not happy with this decision make your voices heard…. We need to work together here…

This is really quite upsetting. As councillors you should be ashamed of yourselves for voting Yes to this absurd wasteful amount of money. Have a look around at other improvements that could have been made. My rates went crazily up this year and I personally feel you are actually laughing at us all around your “table” to come up with the next waste of our moneys

So many people against this art installation and the council have decided to go ahead. Why don't the council listen to the rate payers!

Congratulations, not a small accomplishment and obviously well-deserved.

Nice one Shane well deserved. Interesting side note, Susan Larter won this award last year. In her role as support for SEFUL umpires.
