Moira Shire Council has announced its support for a variety of holiday events and activities set to take place across the region from late November via the Festive Funding program.

Council has provided $16,000 in grants via this program, aimed at supporting community groups and organisations that are planning festive season events and activities to help cover costs for decorations, entertainment, and other event needs.

Chair Administrator Dr Graeme Emonson PSM highlighted the program’s role in fostering community spirit.

“The festive season is a wonderful time for our community to come together. Council’s Festive

Funding Program supports local groups in hosting events that celebrate this joyful time of year,” Dr Emonson said.

“With activities happening throughout the shire, residents can enjoy celebrations in their own communities. We’re excited to see a variety of events across our larger towns as well as smaller communities like Kaarimba, Wunghnu, and St James.”

The Festive Funding program offers up to $1,000 for groups in smaller towns and up to $2,000 for larger towns, including Yarrawonga, Cobram, Numurkah, and Nathalia, ensuring holiday cheer is spread across the shire.
