Community halls revamped
COMMUNITY halls in Burpengary, Beachmere and Morayfield are among the biggest winners from a $3.3 million investment to improve key facilities across the City of Moreton Bay.
Burpengary Community Hall has been fitted with new car park lighting, boosting safety for both hall users and members of the neighbouring rugby league club.
Beachmere Hub now has a modern air-conditioning system and acoustic panelling, ensuring groups such as the Bowls Club and U3A can meet in comfort.
Morayfi eld Community Hall will benefit from air conditioning for the first time, alongside a new solar power system.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the improvements were vital for encouraging hall use, community connection and participation.
“Members of the public visit our halls more than half a million times each year, so it’s important we continue to invest in these spaces to support everything from community meetings and sports classes to craft activities and local celebrations,” he said.
“These upgrades mean our halls will be cooler and more accessible for everyone, all year round, particularly in our hot summer months.
“These are vital hubs for our communities, and these upgrades will ensure they continue to thrive for years to come.”
Div 2 Councillor Mark Booth said the Burpengary Community Hall and Beachmere Hub upgrades were guided by local feedback.
“New lighting across the Burpengary Community Hall carpark means both hall users and the neighbouring rugby league clubhouse members can now walk more safely to their cars after dark, which is a small change that makes a big difference to our community safety,” he said.
“Beachmere locals love getting involved in community life, and now groups like the Bowls Club and U3A can do it in air-conditioned comfort.
“Thank you to the Beachmere Area Network Group for contributing towards this upgrade.”
Div 12 Councillor Tony Latter said he was excited to see the Morayfi eld Community Hall have air conditioning for the first time in its history.
“The Morayfi eld Community Hall has hosted everything from annual shows and community events to Healthy and Active Moreton classes, but it’s never had air conditioning,” he said.
“I’m thrilled we have delivered this upgrade so residents can enjoy the space in comfort for years to come.”
Narangba Community Centre will also get a new air-conditioning and solar power system, while Strathpine Community Centre will benefit from a new air-conditioning system.
