Masterplan underway

FJMT have been engaged by the council to initially prepare a master plan for the upgrade of community and cultural facilities on the Civic Centre site located in Macquarie Road Springwood. The master planning will include investigation of options available, and then development of the preferred option to the final master plan, which will including a staging plan for implementation, feasibility assessments and a business plan for both consturction and continued operation and maintence of the facilities.

Following the adoption of a masterplan for the site and identification of where the grant funding will be spent the Council will then be able to accept the Federal grant money and commence detailed planning for the facilities upgrade. The next stage of work to be undertaken will include the detailed design of facilities upgrades to be undertaken within the available funding. This will include the preparation of construction drawings of the first stage of construction; obtaining the necessary approvals for staged development; and provision of detailed tender documentation for the construction of Stage 1, to the value of approximately $9.5m less design and approval fees incurred.
