NEGOTIATIONS are continuing, on the Marysville and Triangle Development Group funding request to buy the former Marysville car museum for community use.
It was hoped an answer to the three-month-long saga to get bushfire funding to buy the building would come from a meeting held on Monday (22 June) with Victorian Bushfire Recovery and Reconstruction Authority (VBRRA) and Shire of Murrindindi representatives. MATDG is looking for more than a million dollars from the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund to buy the building and make it available for a supermarket and other retail space with the building being handed to the community as a community centre. MATDG president Graeme Brown said following the meeting on Monday they were in negotiations with the authority. It is believed the matter was to go before the Murrindindi Council, in camera, last week.
