The Gatton Shire Hall will undergo a major facelift this year, as part of a $2.08 million program funded by council and the federal government. Refurbishments are set to commence next week, which will provide major upgrades to the kitchen, climate control systems, foyer, roofing, electrical systems and eastern courtyard. Community Facilities Portfolio Councillor and Deputy Mayor Cr Jason Cook welcomed the upgrades and said the major renovation would "refresh and improve" the hall's capabilities. Works will mostly occur inside the hall or on the roof, meaning inconvenience to the public from noise, dust and construction activity should be kept to a minimum.
