Driver Community Centre Proposed Design

City of Palmerston wants to hear from you about the proposed design for the redevelopment of the Driver Community Centre.

The Driver Community Centre was originally built in the 1980's and used as a childcare facility for many years. The lease of the childcare facility has recently expired, presenting the opportunity to develop a renewed community asset that is fit for purpose.

For this community consultation, an initial review has been conducted, with feedback from previous consultations collated to develop the proposed designs (available below). Following this, Council aims to deliver a more comprehensive design that incorporates the feedback from this community engagement process.
