Many years in the planning, and 15 months for the construction and restoration, and the old brand new Civic Centre was re-opened the week before New Year’s 2011 with 5 days of celebratory events.
See the Civic Centre video on YouTube. This video shows the story of the restoration, enhancement and celebratory re-opening of the hall. Originally built by volunteers in 1948, the hall closed for construction in Sept 2010 and re-opened the week before New Year’s 2011.
Pull down on the Civic Centre menu icon to view posters for the opening celebrations’ events and activities. See Claire Dibble’s photo gallery of the opening events.
