“ANAM’s reoccupation of the South Melbourne Town Hall is a rare legacy project.
The building has great presence, character, identity and historic significance. It has the capacity to become a special place for ANAM – a home for making music and engaging with a wide audience. It will also be a destination venue and engine room for creative activity that will enrich the life of the local community and the whole country.”
