Kumbia Connections: Restore, Renew & Revive 2024/2025

The Kumbia Hall Committee have committed to an overarching program to restore, renew & revive the Hall Precinct.
First program of works is the urgent restumping of the hall. The hall at 103 years of age has served the community well. 236 stumps and associated works  at a projected cost of approx. $200,000. A big task for a small community!
The Kumbia Hall Committee launched the Buy A Stump Appeal on the 13th July, 2024. With a target of $50,000 to replace the most critical stumps first.
Fundraising, letters of appeal to present and past residents and  business sponsorship realized the dream. Quotes were sought and the  Frahm Engineering Group were awarded the contract. Work began on the 23.10.24. Enough funds were raised to complete 80 stumps in Stage 1. A great result from our small community. Stage 2 - 56 stumps quickly followed with work completed by the 19.12.24. Stage 3 - the final stage completed on the 3rd September, ready for our Back to Kumbia Celebrations on the 6 & 7th of September, 2025.    Our plan is to have the hall "fit for purpose" for the next 100+ years. We are proud of  our past and present community members who rose to the challenge to assist in this vital appeal. We  celebrated the completed works of restumping. Keep those donations coming in for our future upgrades! #Go Kumbia! If you would like to assist with our projects please email: billsteffensen2@gmail for your information pack. The ongoing preservation and upgrading of the hall will continue in 2026.
