17 businesses across Moyne Shire will share in more than $45,000 funding to give their shopfronts a spruce up.

At Tuesday’s council meeting, funding from the annual Business Façade Improvement Program was allocated to businesses in Port Fairy, Mortlake Macarthur and Koroit.

Mayor Cr Ian Smith said the annual program was a cornerstone of Council’s business support program.  

“This program help businesses look their best, which helps them attract customers and in turn make out streetscapes more attractive and appealing, encouraging passersby to stop in and making our communities attractive places to live and work,” he said.

“Funding allocated under this round of the program will be used for a range of improvements – from painting, new signage, repairs to window frames and improving outdoor areas.

“It’s fantastic to see businesses in each of our main centers benefiting from this program – I’m looking forward to seeing the works completed and the he difference they will make to the appearance and feel of our streetscapes.”
