The new multi-purpose Hastings Seniors Learning Hub is officially open.
The State Member for Eastern Victoria, the Hon Jane Garrett, today joined Mayor Councillor Despi O’Connor and Cerberus Ward Councillor Lisa Dixon at the new facility to celebrate the project’s completion.
The new $1.4 million community hub was supported by a $546,000 grant from the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund.
The project saw the former Hastings Senior Citizens centre refurbished and extended to provide a new home for both the Hastings Senior Citizens Club and Hastings U3A.
The new hub offers adult education classes, learning programs and an IT room, plus indoor and outdoor recreation and social spaces.
