SINCE arriving at Ararat Rural City Council, CEO Tim Harrison admits one of his greatest frustrations has been lack of progress on the restorations of the town’s historic fountain.
Work on plumbing and wiring was completed over two years ago, but the contractor charged with carrying out the restoration disappeared during the pandemic and hasn’t resurfaced.
All that’s needed for the project to be completed is a cherub and some orbs.
Dr Harrison told the Advocate this week, there is finally some good news, with a new contractor has been sourced to carry out the remaining work.
