Quotes called for design of new $6m Community Centre
Urban Design, Architectural, Landscape Architectural and Interior Design Offers of service from urban design, architecture, landscape architecture and interior design consultants have been called to work with Cabonne Council and key stakeholders in Molong in the development of design concepts and construction documentation for the propesed new community facility and library in Molong. Cabonne Council have recently received government grant funding to build a new community building, including a library facility in Bank Street opposite the existing Town Hall. The new multi-function community facility is proposed
to comprise: • A new library • A gallery • A theatre • Meeting Rooms • Amenities Tenderers have been advised that the design of the facility needs to be flexible to maximise its use for activities such as conferences and, possibly, weddings (and as such a courtyard garden may be included in the design). This community asset will be used by several different groups, including The Molong Players Group, both of the
schools in Molong (one High School and two primary schools), dance groups and art and cultural groups, and more broadly, the general community. The budget for the full delivery of the Molong Community building project is $6 million, including $1 million for ancillary works (parking, exterior building works, services connections/ upgrades etc.) An important requirement of the process is to develop the brief and subsequent design of the facility in close collaboration with the Molong community.
