Hub to reopen after short closure

QUEENSCLIFF’S recently opened community hub closed for maintenance this week, with the Borough of Queenscliffe expecting the facility to reopen to the public this weekend.

The Queenscliffe Hub, known as Wirrng Wirrng, has been closed since Monday for construction works.

The Hesse Street facility hosts Queenscliffe Historical Museum and the town’s Visitor Information Centre and library, all of which were shut to the public this week.

The library continued online services while the Visitor Information Centre fielded enquires via phone and the council’s website.

The borough indicated during the week that the hub was set to re-open tomorrow (Saturday, August 19).

“Important maintenance works are to be undertaken at Wirrng Wirrng (Queenscliffe Hub) that require the closure of the building for five days,” it stated.

“We recognise there is never a good time to close a community building and we apologise in advance for the disruption.

“The Hub will be closed for the week starting Monday, August 14 and reopen Saturday, August 19.

“Thank you for your understanding and patience as we complete the works.”

The community facilities started operation out of the new Hub late last year.

Federal, state and local government all made financial contributions to build the $5.75 million centre.
