Cathedral Square
The Catholic Diocese of Sandhurst has plans to develop the church-owned land at the corner of High and Short Streets, Bendigo.
This will include a new building and landscaping in keeping with the local aesthetic and complementary to the Cathedral with environmental sustainability at its core.
The development will include:
- Bishop’s Office (Chancery)
- Catholic Education Sandhurst – Bendigo office
- New Bendigo Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery
- Cathedral Parish Hall
- Other retail/office tenancy
- Staff car parking internal to the building
- Public belvedere terracing
- Public lift access between High Street and Cathedral level.
The Diocese obtained a planning permit for the site in 2016. Without the complete funding required at the time, the project needed to be reconsidered. [ pdf Download FAQ (242 KB) ]
