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) ]
