Land for Lima South Hall Plans Discussed
The Benalla Shire Council considered Lima South Hall Committee’s renewed request to use roughly 1 acre along the Mildiana Highway reserve for a new public hall. The highway is likely to be deviated in 10 to 15 years, so the Board prefers the corridor clear of buildings.
