In celebration of the Victorian Heritage Festival, Hume council has opened self-guided tours of Sunbury’s iconic Building 22.
The first tour of the former Women’s Refractory building will be held on Saturday, April 20, with three more tours to take place on April 27, May 4 and 11, from 10am to 2pm, at 20 Boilerhouse Road, Sunbury.
Hume mayor Naim Kurt thanked the community for their passion and ideas on how council can honour this historic site and create an arts precinct the community can all be proud of.
“We know the significance and importance of Jackson’s Hill to the Sunbury community and it’s why Hume is committed to delivering the development of the community arts and cultural precinct at this site,” he said.
“Heritage Week provides the perfect opportunity for our community to step into Jackson’s Hill again and learn more about the remarkable history and heritage of this precinct.”
There will be a number of displays at the building, including the history of the Boilerhouse Theatre group and the precinct.
Council encourages residents to bring a picnic rug and enjoy coffee and snacks which will be available for purchase.
