RFT2223-27 CIVIC & COMMUNITY HUB DESIGN PHASE

Summary and scope

The Town of Port Hedland is seeking a suitably qualified consultant to assist in the delivery of a concept and detailed design package, for the Civic and Community Hub, to be located at Lot 500 Forrest Circle South Hedland. The Town’s updated Strategic Community Plan 2022-23, which was adopted in 2022, provides a blueprint for Hedland’s long-term vision, values, aspirations and priorities. The plan will help guide the Town’s policies and actions on building a prosperous Hedland for the future by honouring cultural heritage, protecting the environment and upgrading and improving infrastructure. The Hedland Sports and Arts Precinct will provide an integrated hub focused on providing modern, centralised facilities to broaden the scope of sport, recreation, arts and cultural activities for the Hedland community. Located on the former TAFE site on Hamilton Road in South Hedland, the Performing Arts Centre and Integrated Civic and Community Hub will be adjacent to the South Hedland Integrated Sports Hub which features Kevin Scott Oval, Wanangkura Stadium and associated sports and recreation facilities. The Town has identified the need to integrate its Civic and Administration facilities into a Civic and Community Hub. Repurposing the former TAFE site on Hamilton Road, the Civic and Community Hub will include an administration building for Town staff to replace the current Civic Centre site in Port Hedland which is more than 50 years of life and is no longer fit-for-purpose.
