Temora Shire Council Supports Key Community Projects and Events
Temora Shire Council is proud to announce its support for three important community initiatives that will strengthen local sport, arts and major events across the region.
Council has endorsed its support for the Temora Rugby Union Club in its upcoming grant application to construct a new storage shed and indoor training area at the Temora Recreation Ground.
The proposed project will provide the Club with secure, onsite storage for equipment while also delivering a dual-purpose indoor space to support training and player development. The addition of a dedicated facility will enhance the Club’s operational capacity and provide improved amenities for players, volunteers and the broader sporting community.
Council has also resolved to support the future grant application of the Temora and District Visual Arts Community (TADVAC) to construct a pottery shed at the rear of the Temora Arts Centre.
The delivery of purpose-built pottery facilities has been identified as the next priority project for TADVAC members. The proposed pottery shed will expand creative opportunities in Temora, enabling local artists and community members to develop new skills, host workshops, and grow participation in the visual arts.
In addition, Council has confirmed its sponsorship of the Temora Greyhound Racing Club for 2026. The Club hosts its major race events in March each year, with the Cup Carnival held on a three-year cycle.
The Greyhound Racing Carnival attracts visitors to Temora, delivering economic benefits to local businesses while contributing to the Shire’s vibrant events calendar.
Mayor Rick Firman OAM said Council’s support reflects its ongoing commitment to strengthening community infrastructure, encouraging participation in sport and the arts, and backing events that drive visitation and economic activity.
“These initiatives demonstrate Council’s dedication to investing in projects that enhance community wellbeing, foster creativity, and support local organisations to thrive,” Mayor Firman said.
Temora Shire Council remains committed to working collaboratively with community groups to secure external funding and deliver projects that benefit residents now and into the future.
