The Goulburn Masonic Centre has secured $12,500 in funding for new carpet and \u00a0seating through the NSW Government\u2019s 2018 Community Building Partnership (CBP) Program.
\nMember for Goulburn, Pru Goward joined Liberal Candidate for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman and Masonic Centre Public Officer Geoff Smith on Tuesday at the Goulburn Masonic Centre to inspect the refurbishment.
\nMs Goward said the State Government funds have provided much-needed improvements to the Masonic Centre with replacement of carpet and delivery of new chairs for meetings and events.
\n\u201cThe CBP program is fantastic for the Goulburn electorate – the grassroots funding means the Masonic Centre can help create a more vibrant and inclusive local community in Goulburn,\u201d Ms Goward said.
\nMs Tuckerman said the NSW Government\u2019s strong economic management ensures we are in a position to invest in these important local projects like the Masonic Centre.
\n\u201cI congratulate Geoff Smith from the Goulburn Masonic Centre and all of the organisations that were successful in their Community Building Partnership applications \u2013 I look forward to seeing how these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area,\u201d Ms Tuckerman said.
\nMr Smith thanked the NSW Government for providing the funding.
\n\u201cThe new carpet has made an incredible difference to the Centre, it used to be very dilapidated and all sorts of colours. Our chairs were a mix of plastic garden chairs and salvaged railway seats \u2013 it was not comfortable to be here or welcoming for potential new members,\u201d Mr Smith said.
\nThe Community Building Partnership program has funded some 13,800 community projects since it commenced nearly a decade ago.
