New Coffee shop for Kandos

The impact of COVD-19 might have had an impact on the number of visitors to the Kandos Museum, but the lull in business has allowed for more upgrades to be completed recently, with Member for Bathurst Paul Toole announcing a Community Building Partnership grant of $16,000 for the addition of a new coffee shop.



He says the funding will allow for the coffee shop fit-out including seating, bench tops and work surfaces, refrigeration, electrical and plumbing works and appliances.



Earlier this year the NSW Government announced a $2000 grant for the museum through the Volunteer Museum Small Grants Program.



The purpose of the funding was for the upgrade of storage areas with metal shelving to replace old timber shelving for archive boxes that hold documents, photographs and small objects.



Mr Toole says that the funding was essential to enable the museum to bring much-needed improvements to everyday operations.
