Court house redevelopment

About 50 people have taken up an opportunity to learn more about a Warracknabeal Court House redevelopment project by attending an information event.

Warracknabeal Court House redevelopment project involves transforming the disused courthouse and reconfiguring it into an exhibition and gallery space. The proposal includes an Airbnb-style model for a ‘small arts hotel’ experience for visitors.

Team members from Monash University Art and Design Dr Matthew Bird, Dr Tom Morgan and Charity Edwards presented a video ‘After Warracknabeal’ during the gathering.

They also discussed their inspiration for the redevelopment project.

Duane Hamacher from Monash Astrophysics also led a stargazing session from the courthouse gardens and Wergaia Elder Uncle Ron Marks welcomed people with a smoking ceremony.
