State Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the successful applicants would share in funding to help with small projects and maintenance across Victoria.

The successful not-for-profit groups that received funding include Shepparton’s Victorian Railway Institute, Yarrawonga’s Mulwala Development Inc and Seymour’s Victorian Railway Institute.

“Our not-for-profit groups play such an important role in people’s lives, and these VicTrack grants will ensure communities can continue to reap the benefits from them,” Ms Symes said.

The grants program was launched to support groups managing community spaces, including public open spaces, galleries, museums, libraries, creative spaces and community hubs.

The groups allied for grants of up to $10,000 to help them meet regulatory obligations relating to safety or environmental management and restorations or refurbishments to the buildings or land.

Applications were assessed by a VicTrack panel, with the grants to be released to the successful applicants early this year.
