Official opening of upgrades to the Inverleigh Public Hall Through Tiny Towns Fund
The Inverleigh community has benefited from important upgrades to the Inverleigh Public Hall, thanks to support from the Allan Labor Government’s Tiny Towns Fund.
Member for Eureka Michaela Settle today joined members of the Inverleigh Hall Committee and Golden Plains Shire Council to celebrate the project, which has seen the much-loved hall improved to better serve the local community for years to come.
The Inverleigh Public Hall upgrade is being supported through the Tiny Towns Fund, which provides grants of between $5,000 and $50,000 to rural and regional communities with populations under 5,000. The program funds small but meaningful projects that enhance local facilities, create community connection and improve liveability across regional Victoria.
The upgrades to the Inverleigh Public Hall include the addition of a new storage shed, which will free up valuable space inside the hall and allow the community to make better use of the facility for events and activities. The project has been driven by the dedication of the Hall Committee and local volunteers. Hall Committee’s President Bruce McDonald and committee member Christine Windle commitment and hard work have been instrumental in bringing the upgrades to life.
The project highlights what can be achieved when government and community work together — listening, planning and putting in the effort to deliver outcomes that matter locally. More than just an upgrade to a building, the Inverleigh Public Hall project strengthens community connections, creates opportunities and celebrates the pride residents have in their town.
The Tiny Towns Fund is part of the Allan Labor Government’s $25 million Our Regions: Living Local Fund, supporting projects that make regional communities even better places to live, work and visit. For more information on the Tiny Towns Fund,

Quotes attributable to Member for Member for Eureka Michaela Settle
“Tiny Towns is about supporting the projects that make a real difference to people’s everyday lives. It’s about listening to communities and backing their priorities, because every small town has its own story, its own heritage and its own identity — and that’s worth investing in,”
