Grand Dame’s facelift underway with works to Moree Civic Precinct commencing

Shoppers and business owners in Balo Street have no doubt noticed the flurry of activity at the Moree Memorial Hall over the past week with temporary fencing having been erected, ahead of the commencement of works.

Stage 1 of the redevelopment kicked off this week and will see a number of upgrades completed to make the Town Hall compliant with modern building standards.

These works include:

✓  Replacement of the Memorial Hall roof
✓  Upgrades to the Banquet Hall roof
✓  Repair works to the roof of the Moree Community Library
✓  Electrical upgrades
✓  Stormwater, sewer and water upgrades
✓  Upgrades to the front toilets
✓  Statutory fire safety compliance

It is hoped that most of the Stage 1 works will be completed by the end of the year. This will make way for the second phase of works, including upgrades to the acoustics, HVAC, audiovisual equipment, disabled access.

As a result of these works, there will be some changes to the operations of the Moree Community Library over the coming months; the first being this coming Monday 15 March 2021, when the Moree Community Library will be closed for the day.

We understand how important our library services are to the community so we will be seeking to minimise the interruptions to the Moree Community Library during these construction works and we thank community members for their patience.
