Victorian Chamber

The Gwen and Edna Jones Foundation, established in 1974 by sisters Gwen and Edna Jones, is dedicated to enhancing the community in the Western District of Victoria. Following the sale of their substantial property, The Union Station, in 2001, the foundation has since funded various innovative projects aimed at improving health, education, and overall community well-being. Both sisters lived long, fulfilling lives, with Edna passing in 1995 at 85 and Gwen in 2000 at 91. The foundation operates with core values of innovation, commitment, integrity, leadership, practicality, and sustainability, ensuring that their legacy benefits the community for generations to come.
