Melton council will investigate establishing a repair cafe at the Melton Recycling Facility.
Cr Bob Turner moved a motion at last week’s council meeting, asking for officers to investigate setting up a repair cafe, which would offer repairs to broken items such as small electrical appliances, bikes, woodwork and textiles.
“[I move] that following the endorsement of the Melton Recycling Facility Upgrade works and the extension of the operating contract, Officers are to investigate options for a repair café to be
established on site,” Cr Turner said.
Council officers said a report to council covering the options and feasibility will be provided as part of the review of the current operating contract that will be undertaken as part of the development of the new operating contract which will occur in 2022/23.
