Moe Expressions of Interest

⁠⁠⁠Latrobe City Council is seeking expressions of interest from community groups for use of the former Council service centre, located at 44 Albert Street, Moe.

Until mid 2021, the former service centre and adjoining former Council library was utilised by a lead tenant who also ran from the site the Moe Community Groups Hub. This use has since ceased and Council is currently negotiating a long term lease of the former Moe Library.

Council has not yet made a decision regarding the ongoing use of the former service centre however there is some known community interest in the future of the building. The process of seeking expressions of interest from community groups is expected to inform the future decisions for the immediate and long term use of the building, including opportunities for shared use.

The expression of interest will be open for four weeks, from 9:00am 25 October 2021 to 5:00pm 21 November 2021.
