A LENGTHY discussion on the future of the small brick toilet block next to the highway at Glenthompson took up a considerable part of Wednesday’s Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) meeting, with councillors wading through a solid mire of subjects to eventually arrive at the decision to demolish the old dunny in the new year.

The journey to get there made for entertaining theatre, with all seven councillors speaking passionately to the issue as disagreements and near-acrimonious exchanges unfolded on different levels, working out points of order and highlighting different community and Council priorities.
