The estimated cost of construction of Stage 1 is around $7million. We have spent about $1.5 million on construction so far. These funds are mainly from the surplus revenue earned by temple and catering activities. The Society has established Hindu Society of Victoria (Charitable) Trust to raise funds for construction. The directors of the corporate trustee manage and coordinate all fund raising activities. The following avenues are pursued to raise funds.

Tax deductible donations:

The Society has established HSV School Building Fund. Donations to the funds are tax deductible.

Naming Rights:

Devotees who sponsor the total cost of constructing a section of the CHC will be given the right to name that section with their choice of name provided it is acceptable to the Management Committee of the Society.

The Prepaid Hall Hire Vouchers, with a face value of $3001, entitles the holder(s) to redeem the voucher to pay for the full hire of the Auditorium, Wedding Hall or Small Function area for one occasion.
