Chief Executive Officer Ben Leigh said that, “The building was purchased in 2008 following an extensive review of many options over the past few years. The opportunity to purchase a building so close to the CBD means our services are conveniently located and accessible to the wider community of Traralgon.

We are looking forward to offering this unique opportunity for the public to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our service.”
