How much money does the Killalea Trust need to properly look after the park and how is that money spent?
The Park is in its developmental stage and the capital expenditure is higher now as the Park is constructed. Once complete it will require recurrent expenditure for maintenance, upkeep etc. In keeping with the Plan of Management and the Trust’s obligations to the tax payers of New South Wales the Park currently requires approximately $750,000 per annum. Capital items such as new roads, boardwalks, amenity blocks, seating, pathways, Environmental Education centre, fencing and the infrastructure to support the Park usage such as electricity, sewer and town water are major expenses which the Trust need to fund. The current NSW Government funding is approximately $245,000 per annum. Shellharbour City Council makes no contribution towards the Park upkeep.
