The money will be used for electrical works as part of the upgrade to the hall’s kitchen.
The hall committee received a grant of $50,000 from the state government towards the kitchen upgrade but had sought a contribution from council of $13,233.
At its meeting council agreed to contribute 50 per cent of the figure that had been requested.
Bill Deveril, president of the hall committee said that the total cost of the kitchen upgrade would be $138,000 and that the committee would be funding the difference.
Mr Deveril said that the contract had been let and that work would start in three weeks time and would take about six weeks.
Council said it took the view that a contribution towards the project was a good investment in the community infrastructure of the shire and would further demonstrate council’s support towards the work of the Twyford Hall committee.
