Momentum has been building for a petition to save and renew the South Melbourne Town Hall, which has been disused and locked up for over five years.
On 12 March, an open letter signed by over 170 businesses and traders in South Melbourne, on top of an open letter signed by 700 performing artists in February, has called on the Commonwealth and State Governments to provide 25% of the funds needed to revitalise the venue and put it to good use, including a home for the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM).
