ROOF restoration and painting at Inglewood Town Hall has seen event organisers rejigging their plans.
Work has started on the historic hall’s makeover but means Inglewood Lions Club is on the hunt for a new venue when its monthly market resumes in September.
President Eddie Sydor said talks were underway to find a new location.
And Inglewood Alive will also not be able to use the hall and surrounds when the event attracting 4000 people is held in November.
Lyster Opera Company was forced to relocate its new season launch to Charlton.
Loddon Shire awarded the contract for works at Boort Court House and Inglewood earlier this year with the Boort component completed.
Operations director Steve Phillips said: “The construction window for reroofing and painting works at the Inglewood Town Hall Hub is August 1 to November 30. Works were scheduled during this time period due to contractor availability.
“There were five bookings made during this period. Council assisted event organisers and the Inglewood Town Hall Hub Committee to help find a new venue or event organisers were able to postpone,”
