Anzac grant to preserve Gundiah Hall honour board
4th November, 2014
A Federal Coalition Government Centenary of Anzac grant of $1,130 will be used to restore an honour board at Gundiah Memorial Hall, Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said today. “The honour board contains the names of local residents who fought in the First World War and it is appropriate that their sacrifice to secure our nation’s freedom is recognised,” Mr Truss said.
“The restoration project will include repairs to the board’s woodwork, including new brass fixtures and paintwork. The refurbishment of the memorial board will ensure that the names of local soldiers from Gundiah are preserved, and their service to our nation is not forgotten.”
The funding is being provided as part of a $125,000 allocation to the Wide Bay electorate, through the Federal Government’s Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program.
The project complements other commemorative activities and projects that are planned in communities across Wide Bay, as part of the Australian Government’s Centenary of Anzac program.
