Monteith hall awarded $2500 grant
The money will go towards helping the more than 100-year-old town hall's volunteers buy a new fridge and dishwasher.

The Monteith Public Hall has been granted $2500 to help purchase new white goods for their kitchen.
The original iron Institute Hall at Monteith was officially opened in September 1910 to support the newly established settlement on the flats of the Murray before the existing stone building was erected in 1922.
The new kitchen appliances will include a new fridge and dishwasher, to ensure the hall remains the community’s central hub for years to come.
For more than 100 years the building has been an important social hub for the small community to connect through events and social gatherings that are vital for the health and wellbeing of rural and regional communities.
The money came from a federal government volunteer grant that was presented by Member for Barker Tony Pasin.
Mr Pasin said he was delighted to support the community as it came together to continue renovating the historic hall.
“Our regional communities are under a lot of strain at the moment with the increasing cost of living, interest rates rises and for our farming communities higher cost of production and uncertain supply chains, particularly in the South Australian dairy sector,” he said.
“There has never been a more important time for community to come together and connect through these tough times.
“The Monteith Public Hall is more than just a building, it’s a meeting place with over a century of history that represents everything great about living in a small community.”
Volunteer organisations played a crucial role in supporting the fabric of rural communities, Mr Pasin said.
