Financial burden lifted for Mossman RSL
MOSSMAN RSL can continue their important community work with Council approving a reduction of water charges, caused by an unknown water leak.
Following the discovery of the leak, Mossman RSL undertook necessary and expensive repair work to the site.
Considering their challenging financial position and essential role supporting returned defences services personnel, Council resolved to consider their currently due water bill to be an amount equal to its previous account.
