Gallery: Gas leak evacuates building in Warrnambool CBD

UP to 60 people have been evacuated from the Archie Graham Community Centre on Timor Street as emergency crews search the building for a suspected gas leak.

One man in his twenties was treated at the scene by paramedics after he was exposed to the gas shortly before 1pm.

Country Fire Authority crews fitted in breathing gear have arrived at the scene and are attempting to locate the source of the leak.

Victoria Police Sergeant Dave McDonald said both lanes on Timor Street had reopened to traffic but said it would take some time before the building was secure.

"A young male felt ill effects and has been treated by paramedics at the scene," Sergeant McDonald said.
