Council will advocate for aged care services in the municipality to be transitioned to local service providers, namely Grampians Community Health and East Wimmera Health Service, following a decision made at the July council meeting in Stawell. There are no immediate changes to any services for current clients and no action required for now.
Grant amount: $5000
Their project involves purchasing two new aluminum hockey goals to replace our current ageing steel goals. The existing goals are quite old, very heavy and no longer meet modern safety expectations.
Replacing them will improve player safety, provide a more welcoming playing environment, and support increased participation across all age groups.The new goals will allow the club to safely host junior training, local competitions, school programs and community events. They will also position the club to grow participation, particularly among juniors and female players.
