Interested community members are invited to attend a Pop-up Community Session in Richmond Park on Wednesday 11 December to learn more about Council’s Multipurpose Centre project.

Snowy Valleys Council received funding of over $13M from the NSW Government and Commonwealth Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund (BLERF) to build a Multipurpose Centre in Tumut which has sufficient capacity to double as an Evacuation Centre in times of emergency.

The multipurpose and evacuation centre (MEC) is proposed to be built at Richmond Park, opposite the Tumut Bowling Club.

The purpose-built facility will be the size of two sports courts catering for multiple indoor sports, to accommodate local, regional and state sporting competitions as well as a facility to host conferences, local school and community events and be an evacuation meeting point in times of disaster.

Council has engaged specialist architects, Facility Design Group Pty Ltd, to prepare the detailed design and oversee all documentation required for lodging a Development Application (DA).

The Pop-up will allow local residents and interested parties the opportunity to meet with the architect and share any ideas or concerns they have about the project, as well as learn more about the DA process.

For those who can’t make it in person council has provided an online feedback form to also capture community feedback.

All feedback captured will be used by the specialist architect and their sub-consultant team to help inform the detailed design.
