<br>
There’s positive recovery progress at the Wandella Hall site with the completion of temporary restoration works to the hall’s external toilet facilities. The works are part of a larger project being funded by the Rotary Club of Merimbula that will also include
 the permanent restoration of the barbecue facility.<br>
<br>
The toilet facility survived but power and water supplies were cut when the hall was destroyed in the summer bushfires.  The toilets are needed for use by contractors working in the area clearing building sites and performing property restoration work in the
 wake of the fires.<br>
