LICK OF PAINT FOR CLIFTON COMMUNITY BUILDINGS
Clifton Shire Council will receive a $7,080 Queensland Government grant to repaint the interior of the FE Logan Community Hall, Public Works Minister Robert Schwarten announced today.
Mr Schwarten said the grant from the State Government’s Community Memorials Restoration Program will also help the Council repaint the balustrade at the Historical Museum.
He said the Queensland Government was happy to partner with the Clifton Shire Council on the projects.
“These two historical buildings in the heart of Clifton mean a great deal to the community. Given it’s their eighth decade of service to the Shire, both buildings deserve a freshen-up,” Mr Schwarten said.
The FE Logan Hall has been serving the community since 1938, while the 1933 butter factory became a museum when it was handed over to the Historical Society in 1988.
Around Queensland, 46 communities will share in more than $576,000 in subsidy funds from the Community Memorial Restoration Program in the 2007-2008 round of grants.
Since 2004, the Program has funded 144 projects across the State providing a total of $1.22 million in dollar-for-dollar subsidies to councils and community organisations to help restore local monuments and other icons.
