Mr RICK WILSON (O'Connor) (13:49): Last Friday, while visiting the great little mining town of Kambalda, I dropped in to the local swimming pool. The federal government funding committed to the upgrade of Kambalda pool was one of my proudest achievements this year. With the weather starting to warm up, I thought it was time to get an update on the progress of the makeover. Councillor Tracey Rathbone and Community Development Officer Kathy Brooking showed me how things were progressing during my visit last Friday. Although it's taken a little longer than I had hoped, I can assure the community that it will be a fantastic facility and well worth the wait. The Morrison government provided a $287,000 Community Support and Infrastructure Grant towards the project, while the Shire of Coolgardie secured a $1.95 million loan through the state Treasury. Following the Morrison government's commitment, the state government came on board with a $700,000 contribution through the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, and the Gold Fields Australia Foundation chipped in another $200,000. The combination of this funding will ensure the pool is open as soon as possible so that residents don't have to sweat through another hot summer without their pool. On Sunday, the shire also hosted the annual Coolgardie Day, a celebration of Arthur Bayley registering his claim for himself and William Ford—known thereafter as 'Bayley's Reward'—on 17 September 1892 at Southern Cross. It was the beginning of the Eastern Goldfields and was to spark the greatest gold rush in Australian history. Thank you and congratulations to all the volunteers involved in making this year's event such a success.
