State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced funding for the project this week.
“The Victorian Government is committed to making sure Victoria’s regional communities share in Victoria’s success – investing in infrastructure and services to create jobs and make our regional areas even better places to live, work, invest and visit,” Ms Symes said.
“We are making sure our region has the support our communities need to move through the current challenges and can thrive into the future, helping attract new people to town and existing businesses expand.

The project is among 29 successful initiatives to be announced as part of this year’s program, designed to support community-led projects that make regional Victoria a better place to live, work and visit.
The project will support the upgrading and maintaining of the only community building in Warrenbayne district to serve the growing community now and into the future.

The money will go towards structural works, replacement of external roofing iron, upgrades to the electrical system, installation of gas instant hot water system and an evaporative air conditioner, as well as upgrade of the external toilets including ramp and step access.
The current round of the program provides grants up to $50 000 and was advertised at the beginning of the year through a competitive-based process to ensure the best projects received support.
The fund is part of the Victorian Government’s flagship Regional Jobs and Infrastructure Fund, a key aspect of the government’s record $2.6 billion Delivering for Regional and Rural Victoria Program unveiled in last year’s State Budget.
