Project Update 22/02/2023

Council is pleased to advise that the Club Terrace Community Facility project has now been awarded to Design Co Builders Pty Ltd.

During the 2019-20 bushfires 17 dwellings were destroyed in Club Terrace and the community facility was irreparably damaged. A building inspection determined that the community facility ‘did not meet the deemed to satisfy conditions’ of the Building Code of Australia, (no longer fit for purpose) and as such, was demolished with the support of Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) contractors.

Shortly after the fires of 2019-20 the Australian Governor General, General David Hurley, along with the National Bushfire Recovery Agency's Major General Andrew Hocking, attended and engaged with the community and placed their full support behind the viability of this project.

Community facilities including public halls and recreation reserve buildings are essential facilities that enable communities to be socially connected, physically active and positively engaged with a broad range of community activities and events.

In times of emergency, these facilities often play a critical role to support communities to plan for, respond to, and recover from emergency events. Currently the existing 'not fit for purpose' facility is restricting the facilities ability to fulfill the critical role that community expects.
