BEGA, YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU THIS SATURDAY!
Join us at 12 noon for a community rally in support of UNLOCKING MCKEE DRIVE PRECINCT - A Community‑Led Plan for Bega’s Future.

The former Bega District Hospital site at 1 McKee Drive has been unused since 2016. This 2.5‑hectare, centrally located, publicly owned space is a rare opportunity to create facilities and services our community genuinely needs.

Our region is feeling the pressure of:
• A shortage of affordable housing
• Limited youth, arts and cultural spaces
• Long childcare waiting lists
• Growing demand for health and support services
• Lack of education and training facilities

Meanwhile, a major site in the heart of town remains empty.

✨ Come along, show your support, and be part of shaping Bega’s future.
🎉 FREE sausage sizzle + entertainment for all ages
📍 McKee Drive Bega (Old Hospital site)
🕛 12 noon this Saturday 18 April

Let’s stand together for a community‑driven vision for this important site.

The future of Bega is right in front of us.

The McKee Drive Precinct is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the former hospital site into something our whole community can benefit from, including affordable housing, youth facilities, arts and cultural spaces, childcare, health services and more.

Right now, this valuable land is sitting unused. This community-led plan is about making sure it’s developed in a way that meets real local needs, now and into the future.

This is a practical, well-planned project with strong social and economic benefits, and it deserves our support.

Every voice matters. Show your support, share the message and help bring this vision to life.
