SOUTHERN Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) resolved at last Wednesday night’s ordinary Council meeting to loan the Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural Society (P&A Society) $800,000 for the construction of permanent shedding at the Hamilton Showgrounds.

Construction of a 45m x 55m x 6.6m shed, located on the long-term council-managed site, will reduce increasing hire costs for large scale events.
