Why are we planning the project?
The project has been allocated funding in the 20/21 Capital Works Budget through the Our Community Our Future program to demolish the existing hall and build a new community facility. The existing hall does not meet current standards of community expectations and comfort.
What will the new facility look like?
The new facility will be in approximately the same location as the existing hall. The design and materials of the new facility will be considered to fit in with the character of the local area. The new design will include further design consideration e.g. planting and landscaping to improve the sites interaction and response to the streetscape and surrounds.
What will you do with the open space next to the hall?
The site is classified as a Pocket Park and falls under the Pocket Plan Generic Plan of Management (PoM). This PoM governs the development and management of the site. We will also look at ideas for this open space as part of the project.
