Two recipients of an Ararat Rural City Council grants scheme recently unveiled refreshed building frontages completed with money from the program.
Mental-health counselling provider Ararat Wellness and financial planner and tax agent Sertori and Co are the latest recipients of the council’s façade grants program, which awards grants of up to $10,000 on a two-to-one contribution basis, offering local businesses the ability to refresh their business frontages.
The grants are open to new, expanding or relocating businesses that have a street frontage in Ararat Rural City.
Façade-improvement works can include painting and cleaning of an existing façade, replacement of doors, windows or glasswork, new signage, outdoor heating or cooling and lighting.
