Thanks for your input, this process has been finalised and the lease for the hall has been granted to Menzies Creek Hall Committee Inc.

Council is seeking submissions from interested community groups or organisations to enter into a lease agreement to occupy and manage the Menzies Creek Hall located at 1 Menzies Road, Menzies Creek 3159, for a community purpose.

The building, which includes hall space, office area and storage rooms, kitchen and toilet amenities (including child-friendly amenities suitable for pre-school use), has traditionally been used as a community hall for both community activities and events, and as the location for the Menzies Creek Preschool (as long-standing hirer).

The hall grounds contains a publicly accessible playground and will remain open for public use (except at times that conflict with Hall uses). As a result, maintenance for the repair and replacement of playground equipment would remain with Council.

The successful organisation would be offered a five (5) year sub-lease to occupy and manage the premises for the purposes outlined in the EOI, subject to statutory processes pursuant to the Local Government Act 2020 (if required).
