On Monday 27 July 2026, an AusAlert test message will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia. It will sound and vibrate for around 10 seconds, even if your phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb. If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, plan ahead by turning your device off, or switch to aeroplane mode, and leave it off for at least 1 hour.

The Gisborne Library is set to receive a major upgrade to its meeting space, following a successful grant application by Council.
Gisborne Library is one of 19 libraries across the state that will benefit from the Victorian Government’s 2024-25 Living Libraries Infrastructure Program (LLIP), providing more than $4 million to support new or upgraded library infrastructure projects.
The library, operated by Goldfields Libraries on Council’s behalf, will see a $457,000 contribution towards a modern, accessible, multi-functional meeting space. The Gisborne Genealogical Group currently operate out of this space, and will see improved accessibility, upgraded technology, and greater integration with the rest of the library.
This investment in the Gisborne Library will support the growing demands of the Gisborne community, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all, while ensuring that it is up to the standards of modern-day demands.
Construction commenced in late April 2026 and is scheduled to be complete by 14 August 2026. The library will remain open throughout construction.
For any updates to library operating hours, refer to the Goldfields Libraries website.
