May 2025 - project update
Works on the new Marino Community Hall are now almost complete. Over the next few weeks, you will see works starting to focus on the finishing touches to the new facility, including the decking area and site landscaping, ahead of the opening in late June.
This project has taken longer to deliver than planned due to unforeseen circumstances during the construction period and we understand that the works may have impacted you. We would again like to thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding as we’ve delivered this important new community facility.
Opening event
We are currently planning for the official opening event with the Marino Hall Committee, and we are excited to invite you to the opening on Saturday 28 June from 10 am. Further details for the event will be released in the coming weeks.
Background
For many generations the Marino Community Hall has served the community of Marino and surrounding suburbs by providing a place to meet, try art, do yoga and occasionally have a dance.
A new purpose built centre is being built on the current site. The new Marino Community Hall will provide numerous social benefits through the delivery of arts, multicultural and social programs increasing community participation across all ages of the region’s population profile.
The City of Marion committed $3.3 million towards the Marino Community Hall redevelopment, the State Government committed $500k, and the Federal Government contributed $3 million to rebuild the facility.
Construction works, consisting of initial site preparation (removal of the current building) commenced mid-August 2023, and works are anticipated to be complete by June 2024.
The new facility
The purpose-built centre will include;
- Various community activity spaces
- Informal café space
- A better interconnected facility with an identifiable frontage and expanded car parking
- A facility capable of delivering a range of community programs
- Car parking and landscaping
