Local action secures centre
The Whittlesea Community Activity Centre has reopened, with a new memorial hall, an extended library and a new kindergarten and maternal child and health service. Whittlesea CAC will also remain an emergency relief centre, as it was for several weeks during the devastating 2009 Black Saturday bushfires. The upgraded centre resulted from a petition put forward by more than 300 residents.
