The entire community of Fish Creek is to be congratulated for the tireless efforts in lobbying for this grant. In particular, the efforts of the Club Committee, are to be given special thanks for all their efforts as they were instrumental in gaining this successful outcome.

This result shows how a united and committed community can achieve positive outcomes regardless of the odds against you. I'm thrilled at the result and so pleased for the entire community. Well done! Now let's keep our fingers crossed for an announcement about funding the first stage of the Warragul and District Hospital.
