Your chance to tell the Council why this site is important

The Bass Council have just released their Draft Long Term Financial Plan for the Wonthaggi Old Tech site.

We are really pleased that the redevelopment of the Old Wonthaggi Tech site into an arts and cultural precinct is one of Council's Major Capital Project priorities, with funding allocated. 

This draft is out for community consultation and feedback until September 9. 

Show your support for this proposal by going to the Council Engage page and telling them why this project is important for Wonthaggi, for the Bass Coast, and for connecting community.
