Gerang hall items offered to community groups
Gerang Memorial Hall's contents are up for grabs.
In May, Hindmarsh Shire officers called for feedback on the site's possible disposal.
For 28 days ratepayers had the opportunity to comment via council’s “Have Your Say” page, and a community drop-in session was held at the hall on May 21.
"The majority of the attendees were in support of the proposal due to lack of use and the ongoing maintenance liability," Hindmarsh Shire CEO Monica Revell said.
"Participants also provided suggestions on disposal or distribution of (its) contents."
In July council approved the storage of memorabilia from the hall and the building's subsequent sale.
In preparation, sundry items from the property are being offered to not-for-profit community groups, sporting clubs and organisations.
These items can be inspected on Friday November 29 between 9am and noon, and expressions of interest submissions will be accepted until 5pm on Sunday December 8.
