Project Overview
Council is pleased to have secured funding via the Federal Government Black Summer Bushfire Recovery program to upgrade the much-loved Lake Tyers Beach Community Hall.
The upgrade will include improved IT facilities and the upgrade of indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.
The works will also provide improved facilities to allow for expanded community activities and events to maximise the use of this facility. It will also provide for an increase in overall indoor and outdoor space and flexible use of the gathering space.
An upgrade to the bathroom facilities will increase the number of toilets. Landscaping will be undertaken to improve the outdoor spaces as part of Council's scheduled gardening and maintenance program.
It is a really exciting project for an underutilised facility which is much-loved by the community and will provide a beautiful space for many gatherings and celebrations for years to come.

The event commenced with acknowledgement of Elders and Country followed by Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony by Shay Terrick. Original committee members, including 99-year-old May Beveridge with Terry Whelan from the 1962 LTB Hall Committee, were invited to cut a ribbon and welcome attendees into the newly updated facility.
The Hall was lovingly decorated and presented by the committee and local residents. Current Hall Committee President, Brian Bolding, spoke about the Committee’s five-year redevelopment journey and Vice President Shane Rees took attendees for a walk down memory lane with stories of the history of the old hall and school.
A stunning portrait of Aunty Phyllis Andy was unveiled. The portrait, a collaboration between Barb Allen and Josephine Jakobi, is a beautiful tribute to Aunty Phillis and Lake Tyres. It was created on linen soaked in the Lake for a month to absorb the essential elements which are visible in the markings on the cloth.
Aunty Phyllis Andy talked about her family background and strong connection to the area and expressed her joy in her acknowledgement in this stunning artwork.
Thank you to the Hall Committee and the local community for their enthusiasm and dedication, we hope the Hall will continue to be a place of engagement and joy for many years to come.

What's new for the community?
- Enhanced IT facilities: improved connectivity with upgraded IT infrastructure.
- Expanded meeting spaces: newly improved indoor and outdoor areas designed for a variety of community activities and events.
- Upgraded bathrooms: More toilets mean greater comfort and convenience during events.
- Improved accessibility: The new compliant parking space, pathway and ramp fosters inclusivity and creates a welcoming and safer environment for everyone to enjoy the new facilities.
- Modern new look: During construction, we discovered termite damage and asbestos, leading to a redesign of the entry and replacement of the exterior cladding. The new bushfire-resistant Colorbond cladding in ‘Surfmist’ not only enhances safety but also gives the hall a sleek, modern appearance…. in an appropriately named colour!
The enhanced facilities and updated design will support a range of community activities and events. We look forward to seeing the hall serve the community effectively in its updated form.
