Business support awarded

Two Hindmarsh businesses have received cash assistnace through Hindmarsh Shire Council’s second-round Business Assistance Grants for the 2021-22 financial year.

Andrew Bertuleit Photography will use the grant to purchase a drone to take aerial photographs for a book promoting Hindmarsh Shire, while BP Roadhouse at Nhill will repair a walk-in freezer.

Business owners could apply for two categories of the grant. Tier one was up to $1000 without a cash contribution; while tier two offered funding contributions by the business, and was capped at $3000.

The council awarded the full complement of $6000.

Hindmarsh mayor Melanie Albrecht congratulated Mr Bertuleit and the Nhill BP Roadhouse team for their successful applications.

“I particularly look forward to seeing Andrew’s project, of photography promoting the Hindmarsh region, come to life,” he said.

No applications were received for tier one in this round.

Cr Albrecht said people wanting more information about the grant program could contact the council’s community development officer Matt Sherwell on 5391 4444 or email grants@hindmarsh.vic.gov.au
