Tiny Towns funding secured for Nandaly
Publish date: 16 May 2025
Buloke Shire Council is pleased to announce that Nandaly will receive $50,000 in funding through the Victorian Government’s Tiny Towns Fund to upgrade the town’s old tennis courts into a new multi-purpose community space.
The project will transform the underused courts into a flexible outdoor area suitable for various court-based sports and community activities, opening the door to basketball, pickleball, and other recreational uses that meet local needs.
This is the fifth project in the Buloke Shire to be funded through the Tiny Towns Fund. Council has previously secured funding for projects in Berriwillock, Culgoa, Watchem and Nullawil, all developed in close partnership with local communities and shaped by their individual Community Plans.
Buloke Shire Council Mayor, Cr Alan Getley welcomed the latest announcement.
“This is great news for Nandaly,” he said. “These projects are community-led and aim to improve what matters most to residents. In this case, it’s about revitalising an unused space and turning it into something active, inclusive and social.”
Work on several of the earlier projects funded through the program is already well underway, with some nearing completion.
The Tiny Towns Fund is an initiative of the Victorian Government, supporting towns with fewer than 5,000 residents to improve local infrastructure and community assets. More than $5.1 million was awarded to 159 projects across the state in the latest funding round.
“We’re grateful to the State Government for continuing to invest in rural Victoria,” Cr Getley said. “Each project funded through the Tiny Towns Fund program helps to build pride, connection and liveability in our smallest towns.”
