Home of performing arts and signature community gatherings, the Gympie Civic Centre has hosted everything from gala performances to wedding receptions, conferences to annual school formals. This centre has showcased a diverse program of local and national events.
Council has received funding for the renewal of the Civic Centre, with the project facing several hold ups with the venue being used for other purposes:
In April 2022, the Civic Centre was closed for all activity due to mould contamination resulting from the 2022 Floods. The doors have remained closed to the public since then while remediation and upgrade works have been undertaken.
Councils next milestone is to appoint a new contractor for ‘basic recommissioning’ of the centre. Basic recommissioning is to restore venue to pre disaster conditions. Some of the works include:
The upgrade is funded by a number of agencies, including Works for Queensland, Bushfire Affected Council Grant, COVID Works for Queensland and an insurance claim to fund the mould remediation.
