Colac Otway Shire - Library Services Review

No longer on display. Expired on 13 May 2020, 05:00 PM

Recently, Warrnambool City Council has determined to withdraw from the Corangamite Regional Library Corporation, which means Council needs to determine the future provider of library services. The three options are:

A - Stay with a reduced Corangamite Regional Library Corporation

B - Move to Geelong Regional Library Corporation

C - Run the library services ourselves

All options would likely result in increased costs for Colac Otway Shire Council.

Following completion of the Library Services Review report, Council now wants to undertake community consultation to help inform a future decision of Council.

You can have your say on the Library Services Review by:

1. Completing the online survey CLICK HERE - alternatively, print a hard copy to return to Council  

2. Contacting the Development and Community Services team to discuss your ideas (phone 5232 9400)

Face to face and interactive posters were planned, however due to COVID-19 social distancing measures, an alternative option of phone discussions and/or messages was selected as part of the community consultation.

Thank you for participating.
