The Memorial Hall is getting a facelift.

A $3 million dollar upgrade is being planned for the Memorial Hall. Fundraising is underway with $1 million dollar donation from the Central Lakes Trust already in the pot but obviously there's still a lot of hard work to be done.

You can follow the project's progress on the Trust's Facebook page - Queenstown Memorial Hall Trust.
