A Rudd Labor Government will fund $250,000 for the installation of the solar heating panels on the Deception Bay PCYC to provide water heating to the Deception Bay pool.
Peter Garrett, Federal Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Environment joined Jon Sullivan today to make the announcement.
This need was identified by the community in the Caboolture Shire Council’s Deception Bay Sports Reserve Master Plan and Federal Labor has recognised the benefits to the community.
‘It means that the community will have the heated pool facilities they have been calling for without creating additional carbon emissions’ Jon Sullivan said.
We call all do our bit to make a difference on the environment. Federal Labor is committed to support innovative local solutions to address climate change.
‘Jon Sullivan has championed the need for this pool upgrade with us in Canberra, and I’m pleased to say he’s delivered for the people of Deception Bay.’ Peter Garrett said.
Labor’s Longman candidate Jon Sullivan said this is exciting news for the Deception Bay community.
‘It’s a win for the community and a win for the environment’ said Jon Sullivan.
