Community hub legacy
Mr Chester said, "These projects are the final stages which will conclude the Paynesville RSL's significant $452,000 redevelopment, with 90% of the funding from the local community, in just three years. It enhances the space which is utilised by six other community groups each week, and ensures that the upgraded RSL is fully equipped to serve both its members and the wider community."
"These finishing touches play an essential role in positioning the Paynesville RSL as a vibrant community hub, and ensuring it remains a place of remembrance, social connection, and community support for years. It is a credit to the RSL volunteers involved that they are delivering such a significant project in commemoration of all who have served our nation in the past, and those who continue to serve today," Mr Chester said.
