RESIDENTS of Hamilton may be surprised to learn Southern Grampians Shire Council (SGSC) recently approached the RSL to switch on the EV charging station at its present location, qualifying the request as only being temporary in nature and intended to save thousands of dollars.

The request followed last year’s backflip in July when the decision was taken to move the unit, after an overwhelmingly negative reaction to its installation three months earlier – the RSL and community were primarily concerned with the unit’s proximity to a war memorial.
