A resounding cheer echoed around the Sarsfield Recreation Reserve last Friday night when news was received the heavily bushfire impacted community had finally received funding for a new hall and development of the reserve.
Despite having almost 75 per cent of properties directly flame-impacted, including the loss of close to 30 per cent of Sarsfield’s homes, the community missed out on financial support through the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery funding last February, due to the government ruling that the recreation reserve committee’s ABN rendered it ineligible for funding.
