Murray River Council
Behind the scenes planning for the new Moama Preschool is ticking along, however the project can’t yet kick-off without a successful funding application via the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund.
Murray River Council applied for $2.9million under Round 5 of the federal funding program, after receiving $1.5million through the NSW Government’s Start Strong Capital Works Program.
The $1.5million was successfully obtained for the construction stage of the project but is entirely contingent on additional money from the Commonwealth to enable council to deliver the project in full.
Murray River Council mayor, Chris Bilkey said the $5.9million project is still a big priority, but council needs all the funding to line up.

Funding flows for Port Campbell Town Centre Revitalisation
Port Campbell is set to be transformed, after a State Government investment of $6 million for Stage One of the Port Campbell Town Centre Revitalisation Project.
The project will provide a new amphitheatre along the foreshore, viewing platforms, picnic areas, major streetscape and road improvements, upgraded town entry from the Great Ocean Road and integrated artwork by Gunditjmara artist Dr Vicki Couzens.
The funding will also enable the Corangamite Shire Council to upgrade connections between the foreshore and the town centre and improve linkages between the 12 Apostles and Port Campbell National Park.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service is asking Central Queenslanders to dig deep and donate what they can to help expand its services.
The RFDS on Monday announced statewide infrastructure plans for a new aeromedical base to
service regional, rural and remote Queensland.
The new, built-for-purpose base at Mount Isa will replace the existing, 60-year-old facility and
allow Flying Doctor crews to deliver even greater levels of patient care.
Royal Flying Doctor Service (Queensland Section) chief executive officer Meredith Staib
said the service was calling on the assistance of its loyal supporters to support the build.
“The Flying Doctor is now calling on the help of its supporters to raise $3.2 million to support the build of a new base,” she said.
