The Kamarooka Public Hall has been an important part of the local community for generations. In January 2024, the hall closed due to significant storm damage. Following a structural engineer's assessment, the City has determined that the hall cannot be safely repaired within the available insurance funds.

The structural engineer’s assessment has found significant damage to the structural integrity and stability of the building. This can't be fixed by localised repairs to the walls and roof elements only.

The City is now looking at how the insurance funds can be reinvested to best support the community's future. There is approximately $168,000.

We want to hear from you and explore how this investment can strengthen the local community. Your responses will help inform the City’s decision on how the funds are allocated.

We want to understand what's important to you – what you value, what brings people together, and what would make a real difference locally.

A range of ideas have been developed. Your feedback will help us understand what Kamarooka values and needs to best support the community's future.

All investment ideas are subject to feasibility assessment and available funding. The City will make a decision based on the:

• survey findings
• feasibility of delivering each option within the available funding
• future maintenance and management requirements

Ideas that have been identified are:

We want to hear from you about what matters and which investments you would prioritise.
