District Grant – Tarwin Lower Mechanics Institute Hall
The Tarwin Lower Mechanics Institute Hall was awarded the 2017 District Project to replace the external guttering of the Hall. The Hall plays an important part in the local community hosting a wide range of events, meetings and classes. The Hall was a recipient of a grant in 2016 and used the funds to re-paint the interior of the Hall.
