It is pleasing to be able to advise the community that the Melrose District History Society Inc. have been successful in securing grant funding from the Government Owned Heritage Fund 2005-26 Round 1 to be able to repair damage that was disappointingly sustained to the Caretakers residense in 2024 by termites.

This funding is on a $1 for $1 basis so the Society has to come up with 1/2 the costs, but without this funding this repair work would not have been possible.

Smart Domestic Building Services will do the work once we have the development approval through Plan SA.
I will keep the community informed of progress.

Wish to also give a shout out to our new Caretakers Dave & Sue who are doing an amazing job of maintaining the site - if you haven't visited for a while drop in and check it out.
