Business case approved, moving on to phase 2

Thank you to everyone who took part in the workshops and surveys to develop the business plan for the Mill Courtland expansion. Council approve the final business case report this spring. If you are interested in reading the report or viewing the meeting, please visit Community and Infrastructure Services Committee meeting (April 3, 2023).

We are now moving to Phase 2, working on a detailed design for the community centre’s expansion. This will include planning to update some of the building’s aging infrastructure, so that construction can happen all at once. We will hire an architect to join the project team and continue to work closely with the neighbourhood association throughout.

During this phase of the project, we will:

• Identify critical and priority elements from the business case that fit within the budget and site limitations
• Develop concept designs that outline the changes to the centre
• Complete project budgeting followed by permitting and approvals
• Create a final detailed design including technical drawings, specifications, and schedules to guide the construction process

The project page was updated with a new description to reflect our progress and clarify the phases of the project development.

We continue to use this page to share updates on the design and development of the centre’s expansion. If you haven’t already, please subscribe to get email newsletters from us. Add your email to the Stay Informed box then click ‘Subscribe’.
