■ Construction is underway on the expansion of Greater Beveridge Community Centre, marking a significant milestone in supporting the growing needs of the local community. Funded by a $3.97 million investment from the State Government, the project will extend the centre with two additional kindergarten rooms, as well as a minor expansion of the outdoor play space. This upgrade will provide increased kindergarten places, aligning with the roll-out of funded kindergarten for three-year-olds, offering more local children two years of highquality early education.
The project will also include landscaping works to ensure the facility remains accessible and welcoming to all. Works on the Greater Beveridge Community Centre expansion are expected to be completed by December. Recent works have included undercoating the newly plastered internal walls, installation of ceilings and lighting, and fitting of doors and glazing. Up next will be cabinetry installation which will be closely followed by the laying of vinyl floor coverings. The project continues to track towards completion by the end of the year.
BATTLING FARMER WINS $1.6 MILLION
■ A hard-working farmer from Hurstbridge has found the grass is greener after harvesting more than $1.6 million in Tattslotto. The local man held one of the four winning entries in Tattslotto, with each Division One winning entry can look forward to $1,691,612.55. When an official from The Lott revealed the winning news, the happy man couldn’t help but burst into laughter, quickly followed by tears. “You’re absolutely kidding me, mate,” he cheered. “Oh my god. I’m not an emotional man, but I’ve got tears in my eyes. “This is unbelievable. Am I awake right now? I feel like I’m dreaming. “You’re a godsend. I have a farm and it’s tough. You have no idea how much this is going to help. “Crikey. Absolutely wow. This is the best news I’ve had in a long time. It’s life-changing. “I’ve been playing for decades. I hadn’t checked my ticket because usually, if I have a win, it’s no more than $45. I wasn’t expecting this at all. “Thank you so much. This is just freakish,” he said about his 50-game QuickPick entry .
