Community consultation
The City worked with the community, key stakeholders and a reference group to develop the designs for the new centre. This feedback helped to shape the concept design for the new facility, which was advertised for public comment between April and May 2020. The feedback received was positive, with 96 per cent of respondents indicating they were happy with the concept design.
Expression of interest
The City is now seeking expressions of interests from groups or individuals wishing to become a regular hirer.
