Planning has begun for the final stage of Nanango’s Heritage Lodge project after the announcement on Friday of a $250,000 grant from Heritage Nanango Community Funding.<\/p>\n

The grant will be matched dollar-for-dollar by South Burnett CTC.<\/p>\n

Heritage Lodge provides long-term housing for people with disabilities.\u00a0The mini-estate in Dalby Street has been a long-term project between South Burnett CTC and Heritage Nanango.<\/p>\n

Planning began in 2012 with the first stage officially opened in 2016.<\/p>\n

There are currently eight units on site, in four duplexes.<\/p>\n

South Burnett CEO Nina Temperton said the new extension would be a five-bedroom building which will house four residents and a carer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It will have the same footprint as the existing duplexes and be built in the same style to match the rest of the estate.<\/p>\n

A shed will also be constructed nearby to serve as a garage, storage area and possibly a communal workshop.<\/p>\n

Heritage Nanango Community Funding chair\u00a0Wendy Zerbst said the fund had been happy to back the project.<\/p>\n

“We have been pleased to support it since it all began,” she said.<\/p>\n

Nina and Wendy emphasised\u00a0this latest stage had received no government funding.<\/p>\n

“It is just us – CTC and Heritage,” Nina said.<\/p>\n

Wendy said the HNCF was delighted to be making a real difference in the lives of Heritage Lodge residents.<\/p>\n

HNCF is a not-for-profit, volunteer-run organisation.<\/p>\n

It distributes its share of Heritage Community Branch Nanango profits back to the community in grants for local organisations and events.<\/p>\n
