ABOUT
27 River Drive, Tarwin Lower VIC 3956
Tarwin Lower is a small community nestled on the banks of the Tarwin River, under an hour’s drive from the heart of Wilsons Promontory National Park and around two hours from Melbourne. The Hall was founded in 1888 and built in 1890 and has been in use ever since. After World War 1 the hall was extended and became a meeting place for the local RSL and assumed the added title of Memorial Hall.

June 2026
The Committee of Management has been successful in its grant application to the Tiny Towns Fund for the amount of $48,000.
The subject of the grant was to upgrade the Hall kitchen to better accommodate the Market tea rooms and monthly Community Dinners.
It is our hope that the works can be undertaken during the winter months and be complete for the next Market on 25 September - our AFL Grand Final Friday TWILIGHT Market.
The Committee acknowledges the generous support of the Victorian State Government, Minister for Regional Development - Michaela Settle MP
Building restoration completion
The hall is managed by our small group of volunteers who need to apply for grants for all other projects. The markets generate an income to cover maintenance and utilities only.

The external walls have been repaired and painted at last! We thank the many organisations and community members for their generous donation of funds and time that has made it possible to replace the weatherboards and externally paint the whole hall. This has cost over $150,000 which is a huge amount of money to raise and we couldn't have done on our own - so thank you!
