The hotel-entertainment complex gave away $25,000 to sports and community groups. Burnside, Spring Hills and Diggers Rest football clubs and Sydenham-Hillside Cricket Club each received $5000, while $2500 went to the Caroline Springs Animal Welfare Network and Taylors Hill Primary School.

Taylors Hill pupil Sienna Daniel (pictured) holds a giant cheque while flanked by Jessica Del Grosso, WestWaters director Joe Gauci, Rosie Sistov Daniel, Gloria Amici and Roughead. WestWaters presents four rounds of grants to organisations in Melton Shire’s eastern corridor.
