The state government is honouring the service and sacrifice of veterans in Victoria, including Melton and Moorabool, with new grant programs to make sure veterans
receive the support they deserve.
The Veterans capital works program gives local organisations funding to upgrade their buildings and facilities, for Victoria’s veterans.
Interested organisations can apply for grants from $5000 to $50,000 for projects that can be completed within a year.
The Restoring Community War Memorials and Avenues of Honour program provides grants of up to $30,000 for projects that restore community war memorials, honour rolls and avenues of honour and closes on January 29.
Veterans Minister Natalie Suleyman announced applications are open for two grant programs to fund building and facility upgrades for community organisations.
“These grants provide organisations with support for their work honouring and supporting the veteran community and deliver meaningful projects right across the State,” she said.
Ms Suleyman also announced the recipients of the The Anzac Day Proceeds Fund and the Victoria Remembers grant program which supported 19 organisations and 27 projects respectively.
Melton MP Steve McGhie said the funding will help ensure we continue to remember and honour the service and sacrifice of the veteran community in Melton and across the state.
