Long awaited works underway at St Arnaud's Mechanics Institute
Next on the committee’s agenda is the library’s new verandah.

THE Mechanics Institute is finally getting a face lift with the Inkerman Street structure soon getting a new verandah.
The committee said they worked through financial challenges, difficulty securing a builder and extreme detetioration since before the COVID pandemic, but they’re excited to see it coming together.
BM Build workers were seen securing the tin last week.
Committee members said the curvature of the verandah had to be hand crafted, adding a bit of extra time to the project.
Supplies had also been secured years ago.
Funds came from Bendigo Bank and Northern Grampians Shire Council.
