Project Background and Scope

The project focuses on upgrading the aged Don Moore Community Centre to prioritise the objective of the North Rocks Park Precinct Masterplan in providing a multi-purpose community hub. The community centre is to include a gallery hall, community theatre, multipurpose rooms,  commercial kitchen for events as well as spaces for education and creative arts across two levels.

External works relative to landscaping and carparking are also expected

Project Challenges

For this project, consideration had to be given to the communities within the Council area as well as ensuring that the project developed in alignment with the City of Parramatta’s strategic goals which prioritises community health, access to green space, and sustainability. Transforming the centre into a multi-purpose hub is expected to increase visitors and traffic within the area, therefore concerns regarding parking capacity must also be considered
