Leongatha Memorial Hall Precinct

Leongatha Memorial Hall Precinct
Council is seeking your feedback to help inform our Leongatha Memorial Hall Precinct project.

The project will look at the feasibility of updating the Leongatha Memorial Hall, and its associated spaces, to improve access and functionality and consider the potential for a broad range of community uses.

The precinct is currently used by a wide range of groups for a variety of purposes including performances and rehearsals, Council and community meetings, functions and major events.

Council would like to hear how you currently use the precinct, how you could use the precinct, and what you envisage for the precinct in the future.

Your feedback will help Council to plan for current and future community needs, uses and aspirations, management options and operational factors.

We would like to hear from anyone that visits, uses, or would like to use the Memorial Hall Precinct (whether that be just the main hall or the meeting room spaces).

Survey closes Sunday 13 April, 2025.
