Consultation has concluded
Help determine the future of the Cooroy Memorial Hall
UPDATE/OUTCOME: In April 2017 Council committed $192,000 from the Heritage Levy to help repair and upgrade the hall, with the then-newly established Cooroy Memorial Hall Association (CMHA) to match Council’s funding dollar-for-dollar in cash, goods or in-kind services. This decision followed a comprehensive community consultation process. The restoration project, which was a great success, finished in April 2018. The Association enlisted a registered builder to carry out maintenance and upgrade the hall’s kitchen, toilets and entry points. The Cooroy Memorial Hall Association is now managing the revamped hall on a five-year lease arrangement.
At Noosa Council's Ordinary Meeting on 17th October 2016, Noosa Council agreed to take over from Cooroy RSL as trustee of the Cooroy Memorial Hall and undertake community consultation to consider options for the future of the Hall.
The consultation aims to:
provide information on the Memorial Hall and the challenges faced;
understand the community’s thoughts on the Hall and its future;
understand current facility needs in the community;
gather ideas regarding possible future options for the Hall;
understand community capacity for taking ownership over the hall operations and supporting the funding of hall maintenance and operation costs; and
explore the option of replacing the Hall with another community space.
On Saturday, 26th November, Council conducted a community forum on the Memorial Hall with over 120 people participating.
There is now the opportunity to share ideas and continue the community discussion through this YourSayNoosa online portal. You can share ideas, ask and answer questions, discuss your thoughts with other community members, download relevant documents and lodge written submissions. This is also the place where Council will keep the community updated on the project.
Council officers will now start to hold smaller stakeholder meetings with organisations and individuals who have expressed an interest in playing a key role in the future of the Hall.
We look forward to your continuing participation on this important topic. The consultation period will be open until 31 Jan 2017.
Following completion of the consultation period, Council will publish an options paper for further community consideration.The forum is open to all members of the community.
