Murringo resident Tony Porter received $50,148 to restore the Murringo Police Stables.
“If this money hadn’t have come through, we were literally looking at parts of the building falling down,” Mr Porter said.
The Murringo Community Association will also receive $99,361 for five projects in the village, including shearers’ quarters, a convent and the Plough Inn.

“I’m absolutely thrilled that this application was successful, to ensure these precious assets are cared for and enjoyed well into the future, by both locals and visitors,” Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke said.
The two projects will ensure the structural longevity of six heritage items, provide a resource to encourage visitors to visit Murringo and learn about its past and increase awareness of the value of the town’s heritage.
