Council purchases Newsagency site
South Gippsland Shire Council has purchased property at 27 Commercial Street, Korumburra.
Previously home to a newsagency, the property was damaged by fire in 2022 and has not been rebuilt. Council intends to use the space to increase pedestrian connection between Commercial Street and Little Commercial Street, which is home to the new Korumburra Community Hub.
In the short term, Council will investigate options to create safe public access through the site.
Council will then explore landscaping and further design opportunities to complement the upcoming Korumburra Streetscape works.
This was one of the project ideas that was captured at the Korumburra Staying Strong Community Forum held on October 2022.
