Built in 1890 the Hall has seen many changes over the years and 2023 will be no exception! The exterior weatherboards are original and have finally succumbed to the constant battering. Rotten and hollow in many places the walls now provide more 'ventilation' than required!

The Hall Committee discussed the Project with local builders and contractors before awarding the job to local builder Matthew Holmes. "Squeak' is well respected in the local community and is keen to do his part in restoring the Hall to its former glory.

The Hall Committee would like to thank the following for their generous funding

Works began in February 2023 on Stage 1 -  starting on the west wall where the old boards will be removed, repairs and new insulation installed and then reclad. The existing windows and door will also be replaced. The project will continue in stages working around each side of the Hall finishing up with the entry and street frontage. 

This Project would not be possible without the support of the following business and community organisations.
