Council has received a $935,000 grant from the NSW Government\u2019s Stronger Country Communities Fund to build a new community hall at Norah Head, with preliminary plans now available to view and open for community consultation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plans to build a new multi-use hall were outlined in the Masterplan for Norah Head Village 2017, followed by extensive community consultation in 2019. The Masterplan proposed to relocate the existing amenities building and provide services for community events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said local voices have played an integral role in shaping the plans to ensure the new community facilities benefit and enhance Norah Head and its wider area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCouncil is delighted to be progressing in its delivery of a fantastic new fit for purpose community facility to the Norah Head community\u201d Ms Smith said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe believe the community\u2019s voice is central to the development of new infrastructure and have been looking forward to offering locals the opportunity to have their say on the draft plans and help shape the future of the Norah Head community hall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhether it be local community members or those that grew up holidaying in Norah Head, we\u2019ve seen individuals, businesses and wider groups come together to advocate for new amenities in the area\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s now time for the community to have their say on Council\u2019s preliminary plans, which include a stunning large multifunctional hall, modern kitchen, accessible toilets, storage and relocated play equipment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe encourage all those touched by this community facility to submit your feedback online or in-person at Council\u2019s upcoming Information Session and positively contribute to the future of the Norah Head community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interested individuals are invited to submit their feedback on the preliminary plans for the Norah Head Community Hall, which is open for consultation until 11 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Administrator Rik Hart said Council is committed to delivering on infrastructure that supports the historic character and identity of Norah Head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe encourage all those interested to get involved during this consultation period and help shape the future of the Norah Head community\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCouncil is looking forward to seeing the community\u2019s influence on the final design and will continue its efforts to ensure new infrastructure reflects the needs of the Norah Head community and landscape, that enhances liveability of our wider region both now and into the future.\u201d Mr Hart said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
