Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has inspected progress of works on the former Guyra Scout Hall with members of the Rotary Club, who have taken over the management of the facility.
The hall is getting a new look thanks to a $145,079 grant from the NSW Government’s Crown Reserve Improvement Fund.
“It is important to improve and maintain facilities such as the old Guyra Scout Hall for clubs like the Rotary Club of Guyra and the wider community to use,” Mr Moylan said.
“Communities in the region need facilities to use as hubs for community groups and projects which keep the community spirit alive.
“The current state of the hall is in no shape for these groups to use. Repairs are needed across the board, including electrical, a disability access ramp, plumbing, painting, and bathroom facilities.
“I commend the Rotary Club for their efforts into bringing the Hall back to life.”
The Guyra Scout Hall is made using two 1940s buildings from the former Everett School and Moggs Swamp Schools, which were joined in the 1970s.
The Rotary Club of Guyra’s president Hans Hietbrink said once the hall is renovated, it will be fantastic for community use.
“The funding will be spent on refurbishing and renovating the hall to bring it up to a standard that is fit for purpose,” Mr Hietbrink said.
“Rotary plans to use the hall for its meetings and for storing and sorting books for Book Fairs. In addition, it would be available for use by community groups or organisations for meetings.
“It is hoped the project can be completed by June 2025, however this will be dependent on availability of relevant trades people to carry out the works.”
Applications for the 2024-25 Crown Reserves Improvement Fund are now open and close on November 22nd. Visit reservemanager.crownland.nsw.gov.au/funding
