Sebastopol Community Hub

The Sebastopol Community Hub Project will bring enormous benefit to the southern suburbs of Ballarat with construction of an integrated community hub. Once complete, the facility will provide a new home for the Sebastopol Senior Citizens and community groups that used the former Sebastopol Senior Citizens Centre, include a 66-place kindergarten, Maternal and Child Health consulting rooms, and provide spaces for community groups and organisations to run activities, programs and services for the community.

The concrete slab is being poured in March. Following the completion of concrete slab, the focus will shift to the installation of the structural steel framing and the roofing works.
