After nearly five years of planning, the construction of a new Yeronga Community Centre at the old TAFE Site has finally commenced.
Bryant Constructions, the appointed contractor, has been mobilising on site and has been doing excavation and piling work for the foundations at the start of February. The ceremonial turning of the sod took place on Friday, the 17th, with Mark Bailey MP, Graham Perrett MP and Cr Nicole Johnston.
The actual construction will begin at the end of February with a projected completion date at the end of the year. Pandemic delays affected the development’s progress and planning between 2020 and 2021 after the demolition of the old TAFE site in 2019.
The Yeronga Community Centre is part of a Yeronga Priority Development Area spanning three hectares and covering Villa St and Park Rd. The location is close to the Yeronga State High School and accessible to the arterial road network, rail and bus services.
The two-storey venue will become the permanent home of the Annerley Stephens History Group and All Gauge Model Railway Club and will give access to valuable social and support services.
The activated site is only the first stage of the development as future plans will also include a housing complex, retail centre, children’s health centre and an aged-care facility.
