Landsborough Kindy to receive funding for upgrades

Caloundra LNP candidate, Kendall Morton, has promised the Landsborough Community Kindergarten $89,000 to upgrade the bathroom and kitchen facilities, install shade sails, and to buy a interactive white board, if the LNP is elected at the state election this month.

Landsborough Community Kindergarten Director, Lucy Smith, said she was grateful to have received this funding promise.

“These plans have been in the pipeline for a long time, for community kindys it’s hard to get projects off the ground because we are a non for profit,” she said.

“Although the free kindy funding is great, there’s not a huge amount of wiggle room there.

“It’s wonderful to get these upgrades to our older building, because as we know it can cost a lot of money to do, and it’s a lot of sausages to sell at fundraisers.”

Ms Morton said the little things matter a whole lot to local families, and is proud of the funding announcement.

“This is a great facility that is delivering great outcomes for local families but needs a few minor upgrades to continue to give local kids a great experience,” she said.

“When it rains, kids need somewhere to play, and currently a significant portion of the playground floods during heavy rain events.”  

The state election will be held on October 26.
