North Richmond Community Precinct

Total value: $23.97 million

Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program funding: $23.97 million

The redevelopment of the North Richmond Community Centre will create a hub that will serve as a meeting and cultural space, social and recreational hub, and a much-needed fit-for-purpose emergency evacuation centre for our community residing west of the Hawkesbury River. The improvements include:

• A branch library service and technology space
• Performing arts and rehearsal space with a mobile stage for musical and theatre productions as an extension to the existing Youth Centre
• Multipurpose art studio space
• Indoor sports stadium and change rooms to support hard-court sports including netball, basketball, futsal and volleyball
• Precinct grounds improvements to create a mix of active and passive outdoor spaces with seating, shaded areas, barbecues, a shared bike path and additional carparking.
