$2 million boost for Koroit
THE Koroit Township Renewal Project has taken a giant leap forward with today’s announcement of a $2 million state government grant.
Member for Wannon Dan Tehan this morning announced the Commonwealth funding would see the project deliver a contemporary and vibrant new town centre.
“This outcome is the result of the hard work of Koroit community organisations and Moyne Shire Council who engaged stakeholders to prepare this project and ensure it aligns with the needs of the community,” Mr Tehan said.
“I look forward to working with council to ensure the Koroit Township Renewal Project is delivered on time and that the people of Koroit see the benefits of this much-needed community project.”
Mr Tehan added that many local councils and community organisations invested a lot of time and effort into preparing applications for funding to deliver upgrades to community facilities and infrastructure.
This included sporting grounds, halls and cultural facilities.
He believes the Koroit Township Renewal Project will deliver major improvements to the town centre.
This will include streetscape and amenity upgrade works on Commercial Road, along with road, car parking, footpath works and the installation of bus stops on High Street.
Works will also be carried out to improve the landscaping of garden beds and to install new trees in both locations.
