RSL clubs throughout the Dandenong Ranges have received funding for projects from the Victorian State Government.
Emerald RSL has received $50,000 to upgrade the car park around their clubrooms, Upwey-Belgrave RSL has received $50,000 to repurpose an existing storage area to use for social activities training and support services, and Dandenong Ranges RSL has received $12,912 to install technology for sound reduction at their facilities.
The projects are a part of the 50 chosen to share $1.1 million through three grant programs for veterans from the State Government.
Minister for Veterans Shaun Leane said he encourages all Victorian to reflect on the immense sacrifice of the veterans’ community this Anzac Day.
“We are ensuring veterans and their families have the assistance they need to build strong and successful lives after their service,” he said.
“These grants support local communities to remember and honour the service of our veterans.”
