Member for Ballarat Catherine King visited the bus on Friday to announce a $6000 grant provided by the Federal Stronger Communities Program.
“Ballarat unfortunately has a growing homeless population,” she said.
“The fitting of the generator to replace the portable one which is currently used will mean volunteers no longer have to carry the heavy generator to and from the bus.
“It will also provide greater capacity for water heating and utilisation by people who are homeless.
“While the project is still in its early days it is providing a needed service and this project will increase the capacity of the service to grow.”
