At the Council meeting held on Wednesday 8 May 2024, Council resolved to give public notice of its intention to sell Gerang Memorial Hall, Gerang-Glenlee Road, Gerang Gerung, under section 114(2)(a) of the Local Government Act 2020.

Council manages several buildings across the Shire that are approaching end of life or at end of life. Issues with the Gerang Memorial Hall include:

• White ant damage - Toilet block and kitchen dining area
• Friable Asbestos - Toilet block
• Drainage issues in the dining area

The hall contains some items of historical significance such as honour boards and memorabilia. Any items of historical significance to the community will be removed from the property prior to the sale of the building. Council will work with the former hall committee, families connected with the hall and any other relevant parties in deciding the future of these items.

Outcome of consultation:
