Central Otago will have their first community work centre at the end of February when the new Service Centre in Alexandra opens.
Up until now the community work in the Alexandra area was outsourced to agencies such as sports clubs. With the opening of the new centre even more jobs can be taken on.
Rick Mogensen will be the new Senior Community Works Supervisor. Some of the projects the council hopes to get help in include work at the airport, bush clearing and tidying up parks.
