Building Renewals Program

We are upgrading and renewing some of our community buildings to ensure they remain safe, accessible, and welcoming for everyone.

This work is part of our annual Building Refurbishment Program and reflects what our community has told us matters most: safe, accessible, and well-maintained spaces that support daily life.  

By renewing and improving existing assets, we’re supporting the health, wellbeing, and connection of our community, now and for future generations.  

Read on to learn more about the works taking place in the 2026–2027 financial year. We’ll continue to keep this page updated as works progress, so you know what’s happening and how it benefits you.
