Double delight

Castlemaine Library will build an all new ‘Community Meeting Room’ and the Castlemaine State Festival’s Good Shed Arts Digital Media Program is set to receive a boost to its ‘Digital Goods’ initiative thanks to an injection of funds from the state government.

Bendigo West MP Maree Edwards visited Castlemaine on Tuesday to announce that the two local projects were among 29 successful initiatives to receive funding support under the Victorian Government’s Stronger Regional Communities Program. 
The Stronger Regional Communities Program is designed to support community-led projects that make regional Victoria a better place to live, work and visit.

The Digital Goods: Goods Shed Arts Digital Media Program will receive $50,000. See the Mail for the full story. Out Now.
