The Natimuk Museum of Local History will be located in Natimuk as part of the arts and market precinct. Natimuk is a flourishing town fostering a distinctive balance between traditional farming enterprises, a vibrant arts community, and a dedicated Australian and international climbing fraternity.
The centre will house a significant collection of vintage machinery, paraphernalia and household items. Wide in its scope and historical importance, it is essential that this valuable resource be housed in Natimuk and be readily accessible. The site will present a fascinating tale of our past through the display of contraptions and trappings of our forebears.
The Natimuk Centre of Local History will enhance our diverse yet homogenous community. Visitors to “Nati” may find kinder children visiting the nursing home, farmers participating in arts projects or international climbers seconded into the local football team.
In the spirit of continuing to bring our community together this project will provide a focal point for local people to see and discuss their history whilst providing an historical perspective of the area to visitors.
The centre will display, preserve and promote this vital and valuable collection which forms a dynamic and irreplaceable link with the town’s people, past and future.

I'd add to shortlist if there was inclusiveness of the local Traditional Owners and acknowledge the local Aboriginal History & Stories. Horsham Rural City Council have an Aboriginal Advisory Group that could be consulted. [-0-], partner with Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Goolum Goolum Aboriginal Co-operative. The Museum could then be a regular Excursion for Kindergarten's, Schools, Tourist etc.

The Pick a Project is seriously flawed. It will advantage the tech-savvy communities or the numerically strong areas. Money will not necessarily go to the most worthwhile project.
