“Bunjil Place is the first facility of its kind, bringing together creativity, entertainment and community in a way that’s unparalleled in Australia.
“Council has been dedicated in its cause to provide quality arts and cultural facilities that our residents, and those in surrounding regions, deserve so we couldn’t be prouder of this facility and what it has to offer.”
