Centre makeover
Refurbishment works on the Melton Visitor Information Centre will start early next month. The works, which are part of the Melton Town Centre revitalisation project, are expected to be finished by the end of the year.
Brookfield centre opens
Botanica Springs Children’s and Community Centre in Brookfield was opened last week. Melton council contributed $4.7 million, with $2 million coming from the state government.
Clarification
Last week’s story “Musos on the record” incorrectly identified the outfit that teamed up with recording artist Col Millington as Bacchus Marsh’s Apple FM. It should have read Melton 979 FM Your Community Show.
