WEDDERBURN Lions Club has been given a four-year extension on using land in Wilson Street for a proposed supported residential facility.
Loddon Shire councillors on Tuesday agreed to the keeping the land available for the club until 2029.
The Lions told council that with the support of local members of Parliament, Inglewood and District Health Service and other key stakeholders, they continued to seek funding and support for a proposed facility
The plans date back to 2016 when the club first approached council about the former Wedderburn Primary School site. An extension was granted in 2020.
Since then Ambulance Victoria has also, with the support of the Lions Club, proposed an ambulance station for the site.
Mayor Dan Straub said: “We are providing the land at no cost to the club, but all costs relating to the facility will be met by parties other than council.”
Each new council has agreed to four-year extensions of the land use offer since Lions first floated the project. The club completed an updated feasibility plan three years ago.
