June 26th, 2024Red ribbon opening for Mechanics Trentham

The Mechanics Trentham was officially opened last Friday by Hepburn Shire mayor Cr Brian Hood, Mary-Anne Thomas MP and The Hon. Catherine King MP.

This state-of-the-art facility is intended to embrace the needs of the whole community, with playgroup space, a library and study nooks, workspaces, visitor information, a commercial-style kitchen, and a function space for 245 people standing or 180 seated.

Cr Hood acknowledged that the key project had been a major investment for Trentham and surrounds, and followed a 2013 review of local facilities.

“I’m thrilled to see the newly completed building open,” Cr Hood said.

“We are very grateful for the funding from both state and federal governments, and the dedication of Council, its officers, and the community-based Project Advisory Group who worked together on this wonderfully progressive design.

“It incorporates highly flexible spaces that cater to a wide range of groups and events.”
