Old HPAC seats: where are they now?

HAMILTON resident, Bob Downes, said he was dismayed to recently discover many old Hamilton Performing Arts Centre seats dumped on a scrap metal pile at the transfer station. However, the Shire claimed they had found a home for a majority of them and the remainder were only there a short time before being taken away for metal recycling. Photo: SUPPLIED.

OLD seating that was in the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre (PAC) was recently seen dumped at the Hamilton Transfer Station, prompting questions about the effort made to reuse them in some way within the Shire.

Local resident, Bob Downes, went to the tip on Saturday, May 6, only to spot the pile of seats dumped out in the open and wondered if that might have been a waste of resources.
