Objection to proposed relocation of Warrnambool Art Gallery to Cannon Hill

The issue

The Warrnambool City Council is funding an investigation of whether to relocate the Warrnambool Art Gallery to Cannon Hill.

Councillors say this is because the community support/opposition to this proposal is "50/50". But no Council representative has provided evidence of the consultation or research they have conducted to reach this conclusion.

At the only public meeting held to discuss the matter, the overwhelming sentiment of those who attended was, 'NO'.

In the absence of transparent and reliable consultation, we are asking the community members against this proposal to register their opposition, so we can present to Council factual data that reflects the community's real position.
