“We are very proud to support the Ballina community with this new funding,” said Ms Berejiklian.

“Last year the NSW Government delivered $150,000 for Ballina Community Men’s Shed and we are proud to announce this new funding, which will allow the organization to keep on expanding.
“The NSW Liberals & Nationals have got the Budget back into a strong position and we will keep on delivering for regional NSW.”

“The mateship and camaraderie formed in men’s sheds is really fantastic, so we’re very proud to make this new investment for Ballina.
“This Government wants to ensure that Ballina has the very best community facilities and our careful management of the Budget means we will be able to keep on delivering for Ballina and the North Coast.”
