## What is the project?

The department's Round 2 funded projects list describes it this way:

> The project will redevelop the existing facility by improving access through a covered stairwell and lift, incorporating more environmentally sustainable design features including LED lighting, installation of rainwater catchment and water efficient fixtures and fittings, installation of double-glazed windows, and installation of energy-efficient appliances. More flexible multi-use spaces, improvements to the ergonomics of the kitchen and bar areas, and external BBQ area, improved viewing spaces, and incorporation of improved information and communication technology will also be incorporated.

Applicant, location, state and funding are also from that list ([page 11](https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/growing-regions-program-round-2-funded-projects-september-2025.pdf#page=11)).
