A RIVERLAND hotel is preparing to undertake a major redevelopment and refurbishment after receiving $1 million in Federal Government funding.
Renmark Hotel is planning a multi-million project which will include the development of new luxury apartments on the hotel’s second and third floors, plus additional group accommodation.
The hotel secured funding as part of round three of the Government’s Murray-Darling Basin Economic Development Program.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for the 124-year-old Renmark Hotel to be revitalised,” said Darren Baker, Renmark Hotel general manager.
“The board, management team and Renmark Paringa Council have worked extremely hard to access this support.”
Hotel chairperson Steve Jaensch said the board was “committed to restoring the hotel to its former glory in addition to significant redevelopment for future growth”.
“We would particularly like to acknowledge the support and guidance from federal Member for Barker Tony Pasin,” he said.
“This federal support is essential in securing ongoing job opportunities for our community.”
