The Cobram Football Club will receive $10,000 to help in creating a new spectator shelter, while the Numurkah Rotary Club is to receive $10,000 to help buy a bus to be used by aged care facilities in the town.
The grant for the Numurkah Rotary Club will be used to help in the purchase of an 11-seater all-abilities community bus for use by residents of the Pioneer Lodge and Karinya Nursing Home.
The two grants are part of the Moira Shire’s Community Strengthening Grants Program that saw four projects share in a total of $26,149.
St James Golf Club received a grant of $1804 to replace old curtains which will improve the clubhouse. The carpet will also be replaced but has been included in council’s renewal program for 2022-23.
The Yarrawonga and Border Agricultural and Pastoral Association will receive $4345 for the installation of an evaporative cooler in the Hammon Pavilion.
Moira Shire Mayor Libro Mustica said council grants were a great way to kick-start a community initiative, with the grants designed to support community organisations that provide diverse and effective local services, facilities and activities.
“These grants help facilitate projects which enrich the whole community and can assist in the development of services, management of facilities, co-ordination of events and promotion of tourism, environmental sustainability and health in the community,” Cr Mustica said.
“This latest round of grants will help community groups from St James, Yarrawonga, Numurkah and Cobram.
“Congratulations to those community groups.”
