 |    Fawcett Mechanics Institute committee proudly announces to the community they are to receive funding of $63,100.00 for urgent stabilizing repairs to Fawcett Hall. The grant is from the Victorian Heritage program for projects through out the state to support communities in their efforts to retain and creatively use heritage assets.
Work is to entail painting, re blocking and re flooring of library and kitchen, replacement of weatherboards, doors, windows and spouting. As much of possible of the original building components will be retained in the works, as this is the philosophy that the Victorian heritage program operates on.
This is stage one - part of an ongoing project to make Fawcett Hall fully integrated back in to the community for all to benefit from again.
For further info or offers of support please contact the secretary Ian Newman on 5772 2997 or Sam Hicks on 5772 3227
