Werribee’s CBD is moving into the modern era with two free outdoor Wi-Fi hotspots.
Last week Wyndham council announced it would provide free wireless internet within Station Place and the Wedge Street Piazza.
Mayor Henry Barlow said the Wi-Fi initiative marked a “milestone for the revitalisation of this area”.
“Council chose to install free Wi-Fi in Station Place and the Wedge Street Piazza as these are two of the most important spaces for people to gather in the city centre,” Cr Barlow said.
“Free public Wi-Fi is an important component of a modern city centre.
“It contributes to the activation of public spaces and has a positive social and economic impact.”
Cr Barlow said the free Wi-Fi was already available at the Werribee library and the Kelly Park Community Centre in Synnot Street.
“This is part of our plan to make the heart of Werribee a more inviting and vibrant place for people to visit and work in,” he said.
“Ultimately, council’s aim is to extend the free public Wi-Fi, making it available throughout the Werribee city centre.”
The free public Wi-Fi in Werribee can be accessed by selecting the WCC_Public network. No subscription is necessary and email addresses do not need to be entered in order to connect to the network.
