The roofing structure for Parua Bay's new community hall being prepared to take the roof. The project's main contractor, Mr Peter Miles, said work on the hall began in April this year and should be completed by the same time next year.

The roof-supporting girders were put in place over the past week-and-a-half, he added. The roof itself should be on before Christmas.

The 925-square-metre hall will contain two squash courts, a lounge, kitchen, main hall and conference room.
