Crackerjack deal for bowls club

CITY Bowls Club says a deal it signed with construction company Probuild is a "win-win" for everyone involved.

The club has agreed to house the work sheds of the company that is redeveloping Grand Central and Gardentown. A number of Probuild's work sheds are housed across from the club, but, in February, they will be moved onto the club's smaller bowling green.

At a special general meeting of City Bowls Club in December, members agreed to Probuild's proposal to move the sheds onto the little-used playing surface.

In return, Probuild has promised to fully refurbish the green after the two-year period and will also install lights for the club's main green.

The installation of the lights will allow members to play bowls at night for the first time.

The small green's refurbished surface is likely to be synthetic.

The deal has been approved by Toowoomba Regional Council, which is the club's landlord.

City Bowls Club spokesman Graham Healy said it was a "win-win" situation for everyone.

"There's been some minor inconvenience from construction, but the relationship between ourselves and Probuild has been fantastic.

"A lot of the construction workers have actually joined the club and are utilising the facilities of a little licensed club right next to their worksite.
