The Habonim Community Centre is a "Place of Assembly". Our project is designed to maximise the use and function of this space. The Habonim Hall and outdoor recreational grounds are currently not able to be fully utilised as they are both in a state of disrepair (fencing, boundary retaining walls, landscaping, uneven surfaces) and the large hall’s internal acoustics and sound suppression are inadequate for more regular use by community groups. Once complete, use by a broad range of community groups including the local school, dance and music groups, social sports, informal education and community festivals will significantly increase.

Rectifying the current state of disrepair of the Habonim Community Centre will remove an eyesore from the community and significantly improve its usability thereby meeting the increasing demand from the community for a local venue to house music, dance, informal education and social sports activities and for festival space.. The outdoor recreation area has a damaged and uneven surface and no landscape buffering for both visual and sound absorption amenity. The large community hall does not have suitable acoustic treatment for users (echo and reverberation) and neighbours’ (sound suppression). This project enables substantial increase in community use of the Centre.

Fantastic initiative! Would provide a great space for all ages and benefit many in the local community. The space has been asking for this for years and hopefully it's potential can be realised. Can't wait to enjoy these wonderful facilities fully.

Great idea to improve the centre, which is significantly underused. Provides a place for keeping youth engaged which should be encouraged.

Habo was a second home to me growing up. This project will really benefit the community in so many ways

This is a much needed improvement for our community. The site is neglected and doesn’t provide enough services as it stands today for a site its size. Our youth deserve a modern and relevant community centre.

To re-use and improve an existing facility makes good economic sense and is good for the area, by having an unusable building refurbished for the benefit of the local community needs to be supported.
Providing kids with the opportunity to keep fit, will not only benefit them, but also the wider community..

This property needs an update it is great place for kids to meet, learn and socialize every week and it looks the same as it did when I went 20 years ago. Desperately needs an upgrade!
