Civic Precinct and Community Hub Redevelopment

The existing administration building (excluding heritage listed areas) and Community Wellbeing building has been demolished.

Green Star is an internationally recognised sustainability rating system that supports buildings to lower operating costs and improve the health and wellbeing of occupants.

Six Star accreditation represents ‘World Leadership’ in environmentally sustainable building practices and is what we will be aiming for in the new civic administration building.

Refurbishment works are being carried out to the heritage listed Town Hall including:

• Upgrades to internal finishes;
• New electrical and mechanical systems; 
• Replacement of roof;
• New public meeting spaces; and
• External conservation works

All work undertaken meets Heritage Victoria's requirements and with their oversight.

Construction of the community park is expected to start in March 2024. 

The new park will feature a large open lawn area for gatherings, picnics and community events and a smaller lawn for more intimate get-togethers for smaller groups.

A terraced rock boulder garden, incorporating a gathering circle, will celebrate country along with the use of indigenous plantings in the garden area.

The space will also include shade, seating, accessible paths, ramps, stairs, and feature walls for artwork.

Relocating from the Town Hall location

During the redevelopment, staff usually based at Town Hall are being relocated to various locations throughout the municipality.  Find out more below.
