The Maroondah Leader has reported on North Ringwood Community House’s successful grant application to identify a new preferred location for the facility.

Councillor Alex Makin said the feasibility study would provide a “clear sense of direction” for the centre.

The State Government must be congratulated for contributing $25,000 towards the study, which combined with Council’s $5,000 contribution will enable the house to identify a preferred location for a new community centre.

A steering committee, involving the Community House and Council will appoint a consultant to undertake the feasibility study and to report back on potential options.

The study is expected to be completed by the end of this year and will include potential funding options and the preferred site for a new Community Centre in Ringwood North.
