"We approached the real estate firms and many have pledged their support for the centre project, which is a great step forward for the business community and the foundation," Ms Yarnold said.

"Several agencies have recognised economic benefit this venture will eventually have on the shire and a challenge could be put out to other businesses, interested in helping this project to get up, to figure a way out how they can support it as well.

"For their donation, the businesses name will be engraved on our honour wall, will receive an official invitation to the grand opening and will have satisfaction in the knowledge that they are a part of an elite group of donors turning a dream into reality," she said.
