If so, Moyne Shire Council can help with a grant.

The fifth instalment of the annual $50,000 Business Facade Improvement Program is now open for applications, offering matched dollar-for dollar-grants of up to $5000 for eligible businesses.

Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith said the popular program was an important part of council’s business support package.

“Through this program we are helping businesses and building owners to give their premises a bit of a spruce up, which also helps enhance the overall appearance of our streetscapes,” Cr Smith said.

“Whether it’s a fresh coat of paint, new signage or a new verandah and windows, we encourage all business operators and property owners to take up this opportunity to spruce up their facade.”

Last year, council allocated funding to 17 businesses across the shire, including Koroit’s Noodledoof Brewery, Moody Plumbing in Port Fairy and the Koroit post office.

Applications to the fund must be lodged by Monday, September 16.

More information on eligibility and how to apply can be found online at www.moyne.vic.gov.au/facade or by calling council’s economic development team on 1300 656 564.
