The Pavilion at Grenfell Showground will be getting a long awaited upgrade after a receiving a $52,800 grant through the 2025 Community Building Partnership program.
Grenfell Show Society's Secretary Samantha Savva said they applied for the Community Buildings Grant back in February.
"We were successful in our application this week which is a huge success and step forward for the Show Society and Showground," she said.
Ms Savva said they applied for the grant to give our beautiful Simpson Pavilion an upgrade which will create a more comfortable and inviting environment, encouraging greater community participation in programs and events.
"It will enable the centre to host a wider range of activities throughout the year, including workshops, meetings, and recreational events, ultimately enhancing community cohesion and well being," Ms Savva said.
