Imagine a connected precinct in the heart of Bega that brings together affordable housing, health and wellbeing services, education and training spaces, childcare, arts and cultural facilities, and shared gardens and gathering places.

A place that supports daily life, strengthens community connections and helps our town grow sustainably.
This is the vision for the McKee Drive Precinct, shaped by community need and local priorities.

Spotlight on a Chamber Member: Bega Pioneers’ Museum

Discover a local treasure in the heart of Bega. The Bega Pioneers’ Museum preserves and celebrates the history of our valley through an incredible collection of artifacts, photographs and stories housed in one of Bega’s oldest buildings. The museum offers a fascinating journey from early settlement days to the present, with displays covering domestic life, farming, transport, military history and much more.

Managed by the Bega Valley Historical Society, the museum also supports research into family history and the region’s heritage, and provides a welcoming space for visitors and volunteers alike.

Why not plan a visit, explore your local history and support this valued Chamber member? Visit their website for opening times and what’s on https://begapioneersmuseum.org.au/

This site once played a vital role in caring for our community. Today, it stands unused while demand for housing, health services, education and cultural spaces continues to grow.

Redeveloping the McKee Drive Precinct is about transforming an underutilised asset into a place that supports Bega again, meeting real needs and creating new opportunities for connection and growth.

From abandoned to activated, for the benefit of our whole community.

What if this land could do more for Bega?

For nearly a decade, the McKee Drive site has sat empty, right in the heart of our town, while our community faces growing pressure for housing, services and shared spaces. This is public land with enormous potential, and we believe it should once again serve the people of the Bega Valley.

It is time to unlock its future.
