The brand new Nungera community hall located at the Hillcrest Aboriginal community in Maclean is a credit to all involved and will serve the community well into the future, according to Clarence Nationals MP Richie Williamson who officially opened the building on the morning of Tuesday June 6.

Mr Williamson said it was a terrific day to be on Yaegl country because what was an old, dilapidated building is now a modern and welcoming facility that will deliver many benefits to the local Aboriginal community.

“This new building is a tremendous community asset that will stand the test of time. It is something the local Aboriginal community should be very proud of,” Mr Williamson said.

“I’m really pleased the former NSW Nationals in Government was able to provide $134,000 in funding to help with the rebuild and congratulate the Nungera Co-operative Society Ltd on its successful funding application.”
