Baw Baw Shire Council has released a virtual tour of the Baw Baw Culture and Connection Precinct Stage One. The exciting new flythrough video from architects Croxon Ramsay shows off the many functions and features of the Library and Learning Centre’s proposed design and facilities.

The flythrough, which can be viewed at www.advancingbawbaw.com/culture, shows how the precinct will connect to the Arts Centre and wider civic precinct via a pedestrian plaza and landscaped terraces, and highlights key features of the Library and Learning Centre including:

  • gallery spaces
  • dedicated children’s library
  • makers space
  • tech hub
  • collaborative spaces
  • atrium
  • rooftop terrace and more.

Baw Baw Shire Council and Myli have united to encourage locals to get behind the campaign to secure funding for the Library and Learning Centre and help bring this crucial piece of social infrastructure to life for the benefit of Baw Baw residents – now and for generations to come.

Led by the Baw Baw Culture and Connection Precinct Project Reference Group (an assembly of councillors, community leaders and key stakeholders), a coordinated letter-writing campaign is now underway. The campaign calls on local MPs and ministers to put their support behind Baw Baw Shire Council’s government funding applications for this new social precinct.

Residents are urged to join the campaign by visiting www.advancingbawbaw.com/culture. This site gives residents quick and easy access to a letter of support that is emailed directly to all local MPs and relevant ministers. Residents can choose to use a provided template or send a personalised message of their own. Either way, the process only takes a few minutes but can make a tremendous impact.
