Work has officially begun on the construction of the Warriewood Community Centre with the first soil being turned today (Wednesday 29 May 2024).
The centre is being built on the existing site of the recently demolished Nelson Heather Centre building at the junction of Jacksons Road and Boondah Road, Warriewood.
Mayor Sue Heins said today marked the first step to a new spacious and environmentally friendly multi-use community facility.
“I, along with the local community, am delighted the construction phase has finally begun for what will be a truly wonderful facility that will cater for a wide range of community, recreational and educational, activities in the area.”
“There has been a growing need for a multipurpose centre like this to accommodate the expanding local community. I look forward to seeing this beautiful and sustainable new space come to fruition.” Mayor Heins said.
Features of the new centre will include:
- five multi-purpose halls suited to a wide range of recreational activities
- two multi-purpose meeting rooms
- an entry lobby with seating and kitchenette facilities
- covered outdoor spaces which overlook landscaped gardens
- modern and accessible amenities
- multiple kitchen facilities
- 78 car parking spaces, 5 of which are accessible plus mini-bus drop off
- Sustainable features such as passive design, solar panels, 2400Litres of captured rainwater, LED lighting, electric vehicle charging facilities and Australian sustainably sourced cross laminated timber structural elements.
The building is expected to be completed in late 2025, weather permitting.
