Cindy McLeish, MLA for Eildon

Eildon MLA Cindy McLeish has announced that a Liberal Government will establish a $2 million RSL Building Maintenance Fund and offer grants of up to $30,000 to support RSLs and other ex-service organisations.
“RSL branches have been a place of support and mateship to many returned soldiers, which is why the Liberals will invest in RSLs across Victoria,” Ms McLeish said.
The RSL Building Maintenance Fund grants will be used to maintain non-gaming RSL buildings or make minor improvements to ensure our vet erans are supported. The grants can also be used to upgrade or maintain cenotaphs, community memorials or Avenues of Honour.
“Veteran numbers continue to grow as Afghanistan and Iraq veterans retire or leave the armed services, so it is vitally important to maintain RSL buildings for the future.”
“Local RSLs are the lifeblood of our communities and the Liberals will always support those who protect and serve the community,” Ms McLeish said.
