Our Story

Welcome to Birregurra Hall - a venue with the best sound and acoustics in The Otways.

Birregurra Hall is an ideal venue for community and private functions including meetings, weddings, celebrations, fundraisers, live music, theatre, workshops, fitness classes and memorials.

Recently the Hall has undergone some much needed renovation, landscaping and technical improvement as part of the Regional Arts Victoria Small Town Transformation project and the Australian Federal Government's Building Better Regions program.

The Hall is managed by a Colac Otway Shire appointed Section 86 Committee and is available for hire. All enquiries welcome.
