April 2023 Update

At the 26 April Council meeting, Council hs approved ‘Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library’ as the traditional name of the new $21.864 million Armstrong Creek Library, reflecting the overall Armstrong Creek valley-scape and its watercourse as a place of many red gums’.

‘Biyal-a’ also expresses that the ‘red gums speak lots of stories’.

The facility namings are being completed in accordance with the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria, by linking the name to place.
