Meeting House Renewal Project

 

Council is currently looking at options for the renewal of the Meeting House facility located in Stokes Street, Lane Cove North. Currently Meeting House provides meeting facilities and child care (Preschool) for the Lane Cove North neighbourhood community. It is proposed to provide an expanded Meeting House service with larger meeting spaces and a larger child care facility (Preschool/Long Day Care).

Council recently prepared an Architects Brief which led to the appointment of Malone Campbell-Allen as architects to examine a number of options. Council is looking at funding this project by including residential apartments which will be sold to offset the cost of providing the new and improved faciliites.

A public meeting was held on Tuesday 21 November 2006 to provide information to the general community, following initial consultation with the Meeting House Board.

The following document was presented at the evening: -  

In addition Council has prepared the following audio files of the proceedings of the evening in MP3 format:-

The next step will be to consider the issues raised and report back to Council on a number of issues which could affect the options being considered by the Architects. It is expected that a further public meeting will be held by early February 2007 to outline how issues raised have been considered and addressed. If you would like further information about this project, you can stay informed via Council's Enewsletters.


The development application for Meeting House which provides for a community meeting area, 40 place long day or preschool child care centre and 6 residential units is currently being assessed by an independent assessor.  His assessment, when received, and any issues addressed, will be reported to Council for determination.
