Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Shire of GrenvillePrint Page 
A monument commemorates the councillors, staff and residents who supported the municipality from 1864 to 1994.
The Shire of Grenville was a local government area southwest of the regional city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 845 square kilometres (326.3 sq mi), and existed from 1861 until 1994. On 6 May 1994, the Shire of Grenville was abolished, and, along with the Shires of Bannockburn and Leigh, and parts of the Shire of Buninyong, was merged into the newly created Golden Plains Shire.
