The Bay, Lorne and Port Campbell were among 27 towns to earn State Government funding for a community hub to access information, hot water and device charging points for prolonged power outages.

Nicola, a local teacher, said she identified Apollo Bay P-12 College as an ideal location to install a battery, which would power the town’s leisure centre and a key building on the site for an extended period.
