The Marlee community is looking forward to a more comfortable sitting experience when attending functions at the Marlee Hall, following a successful $13,000 Community Building Partnership grant application.
Tanya Thompson, Nationals Member for Myall Lakes, has visited Marlee Hall, to the north-west of Taree, to share the exciting news with the Marlee Hall and Progress Association.
Mrs Thompson said the funding will provide new, hospitality banquet-style chairs to replace the outdated ones currently in use.
"Marlee Hall hosts a variety of events, including morning teas, dances, community BBQs, and birthday celebrations. These new chairs will be a valuable addition and well-utilised in supporting their diverse activities," Mrs Thompson said.
"It is wonderful to see communities across the Myall Lakes benefitting from infrastructure project funding. I look forward to trying out the new chairs on my next visit to Marlee Hall."
Marlee Hall and Progress Association president Ken Cameron said, "New chairs have been on the committee's wish list for several years and we are most grateful the State Government and our representative, Tanya Thompson, supported our application.
"New, more comfortable chairs will make for a more pleasurable experience for all attendees at the hall but especially those who are elderly."
