Neighbourhood Centre upgrade
The Caboolture Neighbourhood Centre (CNC) is set to undergo a major redevelopment next year, with a national construction budget for the project having been locked in this week by the State Government.
The redevelopment of the site will increase the amount of modern, accessible and inclusive floor space available for centre activities, with work expected to begin early next year and be completed by early 2026, supporting around 16 full-time equivalent construction industry jobs.
Redevelopment will enable the centre to cater to increasing demand from the expanding community in Caboolture West, which is expected to increase by 30,000 new homes and 70,000 more residents over the next four decades.
The State Government will be working with the centre’s management to ensure minimal disruption to services while construction is in progress.
Member for Morayfield, Mark Ryan, said the upgrade will ensure Caboolture residents will be able to continue enjoying its services, even with increased demand.
“The people of Caboolture benefit from a wide range of services delivered through their Neighbourhood Centre, ranging from programs to increase community connectedness to free budgeting advice for families struggling to make ends meet,” he said.
“By replacing old with new, we can provide quality physical infrastructure that all community members, young and old, can access and benefit from.
“We chose to redevelop the existing site because it is central, conveniently located near other community infrastructure such as the library and memorial hall, and close to public transport.”
CNC Managing Director, Malcolm Thompson, called the announcement “exciting news”, saying a purpose-built facility is welcomed by the centre “to expand its support services to a rapidly growing community”
