Seniors Centre Update

This week begins the renovation of the bathroom facilities at the Apollo Bay Seniors Centre. The old tiles, fittings and fixtures will be removed and replaced with new amenities. There will be new accessible facilities as well as a baby change area. The renovation is due for completion this month and all user groups have been advised and have made alternative arrangements. Next up in the project is the installation of the multi-media equipment and the solar system. The project to improve our community asset, the Apollo Bay Seniors Centre, is a joint initiative of Marrar Woorn Neighbourhood House, Great Ocean Road Health and Colac Otway Shire Council.
