Arts and cultural activities, interest groups, festivals and events thrive across our beautiful Colac Otway region.

There are many groups associated with the arts and the Shire also possesses a number of Council and community facilities including the Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre (COPACC). This is a stunning venue for the performing arts, films, functions and meetings.

Community halls across the Shire such as the restored 140 year-old Mechanics Institute in Apollo Bay are also available for community use.
