Do you wish to now speak to that, Councillor Lorentson? Just to firstly acknowledge the report, graduate engineer Ann Jasper, just noting it was really well done. And also to make note, the Cooroy core gymnasium upgrade, it's the only gymnasium, competitive gymnasium facility we've got in the Shire. It's well used, well loved. We have excellent staff there, including our own Councillor who works there as a coach. I also note, I think it's the first time or first time in a long time that they actually had gymnasts. Attending a state event down in Brisbane. Again, anything to do with sport and our community, bring it on. We need to be upgrading, extending and providing opportunities for all our sporting groups, membership and growing needs. Shire, to help keep our youth active and out of their screens, again, we cannot support enough as a Council and also as a group of Councillors. So, thank you for the report in front of us and, yep, happy to support.
