If you've driven by or visited us recently, you might have seen the temporary fencing and skip bin out front of the Centre. The Neighbourhood Centre is currently undergoing construction and renovations.
Phase one has been completed, and we now have a new storage building at the back of the centre. This has allowed us to move our filing archives and storage from the garage to the new building.
Phase two has just commenced, and we are currently converting the garage into a multi-purpose training/meeting/office space for the Centre staff.
We also have new, very stylish office furniture along with the renovations. It has been over twenty years since the furniture was last replaced, which has created quite a bit of excitement in the office.
The new furniture has allowed for more much-needed workstations, as the old layout meant staff and volunteers sometimes had to share desks. The new layout also creates a better flow for moving around the office, allowing us to centralise resources more efficiently.
The only thing that has not changed is the friendly faces who work at the Neighbourhood Centre: Susan, Marisa, Jenny, Kim, and Natalie. Thank you to all the staff for their perseverance in working in less-than-ideal conditions while these changes occur.
We would also like to thank our visitors and regular program participants who have supported us during this time and adapted to the many changes and interruptions.
BellMarc Constructions was awarded the construction tender through the Department of Communities/QBuild. We thank Marc, Sam, Ryan, and their team for the hard work they’ve put in and for being accommodating and easy to work with. The guys always have happy smiles and fit the vibe of the Neighbourhood Centre perfectly.
Please drop in and see us at the Neighbourhood Centre. We would be pleased to show you the progress being made and love to have a conversation with the community - this is where we get our best ideas. Are you looking for a social outing or group to join? We can help you find one. See us at the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre at 40 Chippendale Street, Ayr or contact us at (07) 4783 4243.
Until next time,
The Team
Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre
