Work on a $350,000 Elmhurst Hall refurbishment project is scheduled to start in October.
The Elmhurst Hall upgrade is a key infrastructure project outlined in Ararat Rural City Council’s 2019-2020 budget.
Mayor Peter Beales said the council was providing all money for the project.
“The council – along with the community – believes it is vital to invest in our local facilities because they are often right at the centre of our smaller townships,” he said.
