Birchip Memorial Park
Funding: Small Towns Development Fund - $57, 531
Upgraded visitor facilities at Birchip Memorial Park have provided a much-needed facelift to the Old Soldiers' Memorial Park and provided important economic growth opportunities.
The project refurbished the existing toilet block, installed a water-efficient sprinkler system and upgraded park furniture.
It has not only enhanced the appeal of Birchip for locals for picnics and recreation but intends to encourage tourists to stop and enjoy the park, and spend money at the nearby businesses.
The project was driven by the local community with the Birchip Forum, Birchip Lions Club and the Birchip Memorial Park Management Committee working together to deliver the upgrade.
