August 2025 - project update

Works on the new Marino Community Hall are complete. Some minor rectification works have been identified that are currently being undertaken - works will be complete by the end of August. The hall remains open for all activities.

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
