NEW PROJECTS SUPPORTING TINY TOWNS IN GOLDEN PLAINS 

The Allan Labor Government is making Golden Plain’s tiniest towns better places to live, work, stay and play, by investing in new community-building projects through the Tiny Towns Fund.

Member for Eureka Michaela Settle today announced four new projects in Golden Plains which are being delivered through round 2 of the Fund for towns with populations of fewer than 5,000 people.

From walking track upgrades to community centre renovations, the grants of between $5,000 and $50,000 will help local communities across Victoria flourish, and in many cases, support local workers during project development.

Almost 350 projects are now being supported through round 1 and round 2 of the Tiny Towns Fund across more than 300 towns.

The fund is a part of the Labor Government’s record $45 billion investment over the past decade in projects and programs that support regional and rural Victoria.
