The Men’s Shed West, Kenmore Bridge Club, and e-Waste Connection will soon have help incorporating their plans into the planned redevelopment of the Kenmore Community Centre, as a plan to appoint a project manager is announced.
Initial designs for the new Kenmore Community Centre were released in August 2021, revealing a more modern facility that provided easy access for all members of these community groups.
The incoming project manager will be liaising with all three groups to come up with their final ideas for the community space. The design should be out by the end of 2023.
The Deed of Agreement between the Federal Government and Brisbane City Council has also been signed, with a committed $1.5 million funding for the upgrades of the community centre at 98 Brookfield Rd in Kenmore Hills.
The funding for the project was secured under the Community Development Grants Program.
Initially, only one group, which planned to use the grant to upgrade to a different location, benefitted from the funding. However, the grant has since been reallocated to include all three groups as beneficiaries, specific to the tenants of 98 Brookfield Road.
