Mallacoota - Hall Upgrade

The Mallacoota Hall was the relief and recovery facility during the 2019-20 Victorian bushfires.

This project will upgrade the hall to improve its functionality for day-to-day use by:

relocating the main entry
addressing existing accessibility barriers
redeveloping the toilets and change rooms to improve accessibility and functionality
futureproofing the building to prevent bushfire smoke entering the facility
creating new internal storage space
expanding the existing kitchen
creation of additional community and office spaces

A concept design was produced in collaboration with a local project reference group to meet the funding criteria. Detailed design was completed by a local designer.

This process progressed to construction of a fit for purpose facility using local contractors.

Funding is provided by the Victorian State Government through Emergency Recovery Victoria's Local Economic Recovery Program.

The Mallacoota Hall Upgrade has reached a milestone, with commencement of construction scheduled for October 2023.
The new design layout for the upgrade of the Mallacoota Hall has improved functional requirements, allowing flexibility for the Hall to be utilised as a sports venue, a place for meeting, and an important facility for refuge and recovery.
The new design meets all current Australian Regulations, Acts, Standards, and the requirements outlined in the design brief.
Council will undertake some of the works to meet budget requirements and program delivery deadlines.
A program for construction is now in development. Further updates and future venue closure notifications will be provided on YourSay once the program is established.
