Works are underway in Maribyrnong on two big projects with one hitting a major milestone.
The new Civic Precinct and Community Hub in Maribyrnong is onto the next stage with the structure being developed.
The ground floor slabs are now being poured prior to the installation of the precast and timber structure for the new civic administration building on the site at the corner of Hyde and Napier streets in Footscray.
The pour follows four months of demolition works which have seen nearly 2,200 tonnes of asphalt, concrete, bricks and steel removed from the site with all but 83 tonnes able to be recycled.
Restoration works on the interior of the 80 year old historic Footscray Town Hall are also underway.
According to council the work on the town hall is designed to unlock and celebrate the full potential of this iconic building, returning it to public life and restoring the connection between the community and the civic centre of the municipality.
This will include a new flexible community foyer and forum space providing a direct access to community spaces and interface between the Town Hall, new civic building, and new community park, due for completion by the end of 2024.
