Buxton Hall renovation thanks to National Bushfire Recovery fund

The old Buxton Hall is being renovated, thanks to $139,632 of funding from the Australian Government under the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grants program.

Federal Member for Hume Angus Taylor said the overall program funding was boosted to $390 million to further support communities around Australia to recover from the 2019-20 bushfires.
