June 22nd, 2022Trentham Hub

Demolition of sections of the Trentham Mechanics Institute has commenced, as the building is transformed into a $6 million Trentham Community Hub.
Tree removal, sewer realignment and removal of asbestos is now complete.
Hepburn Shire Mayor Cr Tim Drylie said the building would include a library, council customer service centre, large community hall, commercial kitchen, visitor information services, playgroup area, onsite parking and landscaped surrounds.
Regional Development Victoria has provided $3.5 million through the Regional Infrastructure Fund, with $1.1M from the federal government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure grant.
Cr Drylie said the building would have a five-star Green Star rating.
It will also have a back-up generator to serve the community in times of power outage and ensure the building can remain operating.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June next year.
