This vandalising of something so important in the community, must not go ahead. Community wishes must be listened to, and consideration of Veterans, both past an present, must be considered. What has been planned to put in the place of this building, is totally insane, and unwarranted. Leave the building alone, if you truly think your project is so good, then take it to the people for a vote, but if the people originally paid for this Hall, then to be honest, you do not have the right to just charge ahead with your plans. For heavens sake, leave this Hall alone and p ut your pointless plans to bed.

I thought it was unlawful to demolish a War Memorial or just down right unthoughtful of Berrigan Council

The hall is important and should not be destroyed to waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on a car park.

I wish you well with this "Petition" apart from the Hall being on Crown Reserve! Remind your Councillors of one "Often Overlooked" Point. Councils Perse' "Own Nothing" every last asset of any Particular Council, is "Owned by the Ratepayers!" Councils are mere Custodians!

Too much of Australia's history is being destroyed... ( in the name of progress)?? This is a memorial to the people , who dedicated their lives! Fix it!

This is not right. This hall was built for a reason and time has not changed that reason.

Listen to your ratepayers Councillors, the Hall belongs to Finley. The townspeople built it and it is an acredited War Memorial. Just an act of wanton vandalism

My foster dad came from the Berrigan area, and he would be horrified to find out it is going to be demolished. He would turn over in his grave.
