Heyfield RSL president Greg Mackenzie and Gippsland East MLA and shadow veterans minister Tim Bull discuss the proposed upgrades planned for the Heyfield RSL clubrooms
HEYFIELD RSL, which recently marked its centenary, will receive $19,000 for upgrades to its hall under the Veterans Capital Works Grant Program.
The Veterans Capital Works Grant Program grants are made available for projects which support building and facility improvements for not-for-profit organisations delivering services to veterans, their families and communities.
Sub-branch president Greg Mackenzie said the grant would help to give the facilities a whole new lease of life.
“We plan to address several long-standing occupational health and safety issues and install new security lighting, air conditioning, curtains and bring the well-worn timber floors back to their former glory,” he said.
