Yarrawonga Town Hall Precinct Upgrade

August 2023

The new library site earth works, east of the Town Hall, are now complete, enabling a weight bearing bench for the concrete slab to be put in. 

This construction methodology is being continued between Bourkes Hotel and the northern side of the Town Hall. 

Once the weight bearing slab has been approved, the site drainage will commence.

Work has now commenced on the Yarrawonga Library, you may have noticed some heavy machinery on site and lots of dirt. 

The team are currently digging up the natural soil form the site, mixing it with gravel and rolling it back down to ensure a weight bearing bench can be achieved before the concrete slab is poured. 

October 2022 

The parallel car parks north on Orr St (along side of Town Hall Complex) will be closed for approx. 12 months commencing from 17 October 2022.
