Tawonga Hall receives a welcomed Local Economic Recovery grant

Halls in Tawonga, Harrietville, Tallangatta and Corryong will share in close to $2 million of state and federal grants through the Local Economic Recovery program. 

A $850,000 grant has been approved for improvements to the Tawonga Community Memorial Hall to enable it to be used as an emergency relief centre and to better support community events.

The Tawonga and District Community Association would like to thank the Alpine Shire for their support in getting this project off the ground.

We will keep you updated with progress!

Children’s Game Area – Pioneer Park

The TDCA thank the Alpine Shire Council for their support in the 2020/21 Community Grants Program which has enabled a children’s games area to be painted on the old tennis court area of Pioneer Park.

This project was initiated through an existing level of use of the area by local children without an established games area. The new games area will enhance the games experience, promote social interaction and physical exercise. We anticipate future development of the retired tennis court area as part of the Alpine Better Places initiative. Community input is welcomed!

Remembrance Day at Pioneer Park Memorial

A war memorial honouring the men and women who left Tawonga and district to serve their country was officially opened in Pioneer Park, Tawonga on the eve of Remembrance Day Sunday 10th November 2019.

One year later the community once again paid their respects in laying wreaths at the memorial, and the placement of poppies. Pictured on the right below are Sue Ryder and Karen Wilkinson at the memorial this year. Sue is Secretary of the Tawonga and District Community Association and Karen grew up in the Kiewa Valley and was present at the opening of the memorial in 2019 (without mask in the photo on the left).
