The facility located on the corner of William and Charlotte Streets is used regularly by the community, regardless of whether they're using the hall or not.
"It's quite a convenient little spot and over time it's become very problematic because we have so many people use it," Girl Guides unit leader Gaylene Anderson said.

"There's a lot of work to be done there and hopefully this fund will help us get some of it done."
Ms Anderson said unfortunately the $53,350 grant won't cover everything that needs to be done but they're very grateful to have it as a starting point.
Member for Bathurst Paul Toole met with Bathurst Girl Guide members including assistant district manager Gemma Evans and unit leaders Ms Anderson and Narissa Boeren to see first-hand how the upgrades would help.
"The improvements will spruce up the grounds of the Girl Guides that front onto William Street which really is a high profile location in the central business district," Mr Toole said.
Ms Anderson said any further donations towards the carpark upgrades would be greatly appreciated by the Girl Guides.
