A community fundraising initiative to provide an additional wing at Moyola Lodge in Tatura will be launched tonight.

A community fundraising initiative to provide an additional wing at Moyola Lodge in Tatura will be launched tonight.

The new wing will see the facility increase from 30 beds to 43, fully utilising the land available at the corner of Hunter and Park Sts.

It will provide 13 spacious private rooms, complete with ensuite and individual heating and cooling control, plus communal lounges.

The additional wing will cater specifically for dementia and will include an area to enable residents to take secure garden walks.

The Building a Better Moyola committee is aiming to raise more than $500000 towards the building project and are looking to the community for support.

Moyola has recently been successful in obtaining Federal Government funding for 11 beds and will receive ongoing financial support for a significant portion of day-to-day care costs.

The total capital cost of the project is expected to be $1.5 million which will not be provided through government funding. Bega Cheese and Tatura Milk Industries executive chairman Barry Irvin will launch the appeal at the invitation only event this evening.
