Emergency Recovery Victoria’s Post

Last week, nearly 100 community members came together to celebrate the official reopening of the Myrtleford Memorial Hall, and what a special moment it was! A heartfelt thank you to John Taylor OAM for sharing the rich history of the hall. It was incredibly meaningful to mark this milestone exactly 100 years to the month since the hall first opened its doors in 1925. 🕰️ This much-loved community asset is now ready for its next chapter, and we can’t wait to see it continue to be a place where memories are made for generations to come. 💛 A huge thank you to our Project Manager, Matthew Zagorski, and the Joss Group for leading the project with care and dedication, along with all of the contractors who brought the vision to life. We'd also like to thank the Community Reference Group for their support in making this project possible, as well as the Myrtleford Visitor Information Centre volunteers, Myrtleford Chamber of Commerce, Myrtleford Festival, Myrtleford Film Society, Myrtleford Historical Society, Myrtleford Neighbourhood Centre, Myrtleford Theatre Group, and the La Fiera Committee. As you can see, it's been a true community effort completing this project! We gratefully acknowledge funding support from Regional Development Victoria, Emergency Recovery Victoria’s Local Government Bushfire Council Support Fund, Universal Design Victoria, Creative Victoria, and the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.  And don’t forget, the brand new Myrtleford Visitor Information Centre is now officially open seven days a week in its new location at the front of the hall. Pop in and say hello! 👋
