New Rippon Lea Cultural Hub works program

In 2015 the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) received a Protecting National Historic Sites grant of $895, 860 through the Department of Environment for the National Heritage Listed Rippon Lea House and Garden for the Stables Precinct and Cultural Hub Development. The works undertaken as part of grant involved the Stables Complex, the Servant and Tower Wing of the Mansion and the construction of a new Amenities Building.
