FIRST CLASS SEATS

THE seats in the Handbury Auditorium at HPAC are now 30 years old and are not fit for purpose, appear tattered and worn, and no longer meet the expectations of the community. Three new layouts are being considered by SGSC, all with centralised aisles, 11 relocatable seats and greatly improved wheelchair access. Photo: GLENN GUY.

SEATING is set to be replaced in the Handbury Auditorium at the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre (HPAC) after a motion was carried by the Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) at its ordinary meeting on Wednesday night.

In June 2022, Council was successful in securing $150,000 through Creative Victoria’s Creative Neighbourhoods Infrastructure Support Program, which provides one-off grants for infrastructure.
