What happens next?

These insights gathered from the community will help inform the upgrades to the Centre.

Council staff will now analyse other similar venues, collect and investigate relevant data and utilise existing Council documents – such as Recreation Needs Study – A Healthier Inner West and Tempe Recreation Reserve and Tempe Lands Plan of Management & Master Plan.

A report will be given to Council’s Capital Works team to then compile draft plans.
