shuttered up for almost two years now and

locals have been forced to drive 60km just

to quench their thirst. However CSD, which

bought the building this year to supplement

its regional workforce accommodation, has

announced it will reopen the pub to the

general public before Christmas.

When the company bought it earlier in

the year from the mortgagee in possession

it refurbished the town landmark to provide

worker accommodation for Mount Garnet’s

restarted operations and supplement the

60-room camp at the Surveyor mine site with

another 35 rooms in the hotel.

CSD managing director Ralph De Lacey

said as part of the purchase the company had

also taken over the pub’s liquor license and

would soon provide meals and drinks for

employees, before gearing up to reopen to

the public before Christmas.

De Lacey said the pub building was a

landmark steeped in character and history

and it would be good to restart the town’s

social hub.

He said it would not be a distraction for

the company but if there were any problems

caused by opening to the public then it

would simply keep it open just for CSD’s

own staf. However, De Lacey said the locals

were looking forward to seeing it open and

so was he.
