Gosnells Archers clubrooms to be knocked over and rebuilt after fire

Francis CurroComment News

THE City of Gosnells has lodged an insurance claim for the demolition and reconstruction of the Gosnells Archers clubrooms.

A suspicious fire gutted the Gosnells Archers clubrooms last month after a car ploughed into it.

The archers managed to save targets, which has allowed the club to continue to shoot on weekends.

The City of Gosnells voted at its council meeting on October 11 to make a change to the budget and use $80,000 to begin the process of bulldozing the building and building a new one.
