Click here Coffs Harbour Cultural and Civic Space Project Update March 2020Appointment of ECI Builder: At the Thursday March 12 Council meeting, the tender recommendation to appoint an Early Contract Involvement (ECI) builder for the Cultural and Civic Space project was put forward to Council. The decision was made to approve the ECI builder tender and engage Lipman Pty Ltd for this phase of the project. The involvement of an ECI builder is a method of construction contracting which allows the builder to become substantially involved in the design of a project. Want to know more about what an Early Involvement Contract is and how it works to benefit the Cultural and Civic Space? Read on here. Sale of Coffs Harbour City Council Buildings The process for approving the sale of the buildings began 14 June 2018, when Council approved the Concept Business Case for the Cultural and Civic Space – a key part of which was to sell the buildings as part of the funding model for the project. In July 2019 Council authorised the sale of four Council properties as part of the motion to progress the Cultural and Civic Space Project. The buildings will not be needed once the Cultural and Civic Space is built and the proceeds from the sale of the buildings form an important component of the funding strategy of the new building. Over the next week, you will see the For Sale signs appearing in front of the four council-owned buildings earmarked for sale: · Rigby House located at 27-29 Duke Street · Coffs Harbour City Council Administration Building located at 2 Castle Street · The building housing the Coffs Harbour Regional Museum located at 251A Harbour Drive · Office buildings at 169-171 Rose Avenue We have developed some FAQs on the sale of these assets which you will find at the Heart of Coffs website.
