PAAB
Adventure Starts Here
The Puckapunyal Area Amenities Board (PAAB) provides Puckapunyal Residents, Families, School Instructors and Trainees access to a wide range of Weekend Adventure amenities so that you can make the most of your time here in Regional Victoria.
Who it’s for
Supporting the PMA Community
The PAAB provides grants for community organisations, convenient amenities hire for weekend adventures, access to community housing and community support services for people living, working and training in the Puckapunyal Military Area.
Residents, School Instructors and Trainees
The PAAB is constantly expanding its range of equipment and services to ensure that the PMA Community can take full advantage of the Beautiful Mitchell Shire. Whether it is Fishing on the Murray, Kayaking around Lake Nagambie, Camping by the side of Lake Sambell in Beechworth, Skiing at Lake Mountain or riding the Great Victorian Rail Trail – the PAAB Amenities Loan Pool has you covered!
To ensure that your family and friends can be right there with you, the PAAB also provides access to a couple of fully-furnished houses on the Garrison that can be rented by PMA Residents, School Instructors and Trainees. The PMA Community Houses are a convenient, cost-effective alternative to family, friends and guests having to stay in Seymour or the surrounds.
The PAAB also maintains a fully-equipped Community Shed on the Garrison providing residents, instructors and trainees access to a secure workshop to complete that little project that has been burning away in the background.
