THE Terang Returned and Services League (RSL) sub branch has received a funding boost thanks to the State Government.
Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney this week announced the Terang RSL sub branch would receive over $13,000 to undertake repairs to the floor at Terang RSL hall.
“We are backing this renovation project to repair damage and improve safety at the Terang RSL hall,” she said.
“I am pleased to support improvements to facilities where groups such as Terang RSL continue their important work, delivering services to veterans and their families.”
It’s one of 50 projects across the state to share in $1.1 million through three grant programs aimed at improving the lives of veterans and their families and ensuring their contributions are remembered for years to come.
The grants include $688,000 for 24 projects through the Veterans Capital Works grant program, which funds building improvements for not-for-profit and ex-service organisations delivering services to veterans and their families.
Eight projects will receive support through the Victoria Remembers grant program, which provides up to $30,000 to projects honouring veterans and educating Victorians about their contributions.
Projects include an exhibition at the Shrine of Remembrance that will explore children’s experiences of war through the lens of popular culture.
The Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour grant program offers up to $50,000 to projects which restore or update war memorials, honour rolls and avenues of honour.
