THE playground at Wade Park in Bulahdelah has a new addition for the summer thanks to a donation from a developer. As part of a deal for a new service centre the developer was required to donate $50,000 to MidCoast Council for use in upgrading local facilities. Advertise with News of The Area today.

There was some delay due to rain but the work has now been completed, with the sail being erected by Shade Structures last week. By John GLEESON
