Salisbury City Centre Community Hub
The City of Salisbury is investing in creating a new era for the Salisbury City Centre and facilities for our community through the development of a Community Hub.
The concept was first announced in Council’s Salisbury City Centre Renewal Strategy 2012 and – following extensive preliminary works – we are about to enter the next phase of the project.
The Community Hub which will be a place for the community to come together to exchange ideas, learn, participate and celebrate in a range of flexible community spaces. The modern and contemporary facility will feature civic spaces, a gallery, learning and information facilities, council chambers and office space. It will be a place to showcase and experience the difference Salisbury has to offer and be the social heart of our City Centre.
The project is a high priority for Council reflected as a critical action in our City Plan 2030, and represents a significant commitment and investment into the Salisbury City Centre and our community. The estimated cost of the project is $43.8 million. These project costs have been incorporated into our Long Term Financial Plan. Council is also exploring grant opportunities along with proposed sale of council owned properties of $7 million made available due to the new Community Hub.
The development of the Hub, along with investment by Council in the Salisbury Oval Precinct, will be a signpost to the business sector of Council’s commitment to revitalise the Salisbury City Centre, which we are supporting with works to improve the road network to facilitate better traffic, pedestrian and public transport movements all of these come together to make Salisbury City Centre a growing, exciting and accessible destination.
The Salisbury City Centre will be transformed into a vibrant and modern precinct and a place for all to experience and enjoy.
