Have Your Say on the proposal to issue 10 Year Leases and a 10 Year Licence for the new Karinya Reserve Community Hall
We are inviting the community to provide feedback on whether Council should grant Eden Hills Scouts and Blackwood Rotary Club with 10 year leases for use of storage sheds and the Eden Hills Scouts with a 10 year licence for use of the hall at the new Karinya Reserve Community Hall.
Background
The Eden Hills Scouts have leased the scout hall at Karinya Rotary Reserve, Eden Hills since the early 1960s. At the time of demolition, the existing facilities were over 60 years old and required major repairs to fix the leaking roof, failing floorboards, upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom and provision of disabled bathroom facilities. The Scouts have received $580,000 in Federal government funding to improve the facilities, with further contributions from Eden Hills Scouts of $100,000 and Council it was decided that the current scout hall would be demolished, and a new scout hall built in its place.
The new facility includes:
- Large Hall
- Office
- Entry area
- Large Kitchen
- Unisex Bathroom, including Disabled Bathroom
- Large Tent Drying / Store Area with roller door access
- Upper storage area
Not only will this new facility be home to the Eden Hills Scouts and provide much needed storage for the Blackwood Rotary Club it will also be available for hire by the community.
The new Karinya Reserve Community Hall is due for completion in July 2024. This new facility will house the Eden Hills Scouts and Blackwood Rotary Club and be available for the community to use as a hall for hire. Council is proposing to issue Eden Hills Scouts and Rotary with 10 year lease of storage sheds attached to the building and the Eden Hills Scouts with a 10 year licence for use of the hall.
