New hand crafted seating champions local history and makes for a practical place to sit for visitors to ANZAC Hall, adding both character and comfort to one of the town’s much‑loved community spaces.

The new seats were included in an upgrade to the hall’s access. A new ramp and a new staircase both bring easier access to the hall in the upgrade.
