New community hub on point for local residents

POINT Lonsdale’s new community hub is now open for all residents and neighbouring communities to use and enjoy.

Bellarine MP Lisa Neville and Moremac Property Group director Bryce Moore unveiled a plaque to mark the opening of the community hub earlier this week.

The new building, which was planned, designed and constructed by the developer (Moremac Property Group) in accordance with the development approval of the project, is prominently positioned adjacent to The Point’s main entry from the Bellarine Highway on Point Boulevard.

Overlooking one of The Point’s northerly waterways, the community hub has been built using natural timbers, exposed beams and large, north facing windows to provide expansive views across the boardwalk and waterway.

Designed with sustainability at its core, the community hub is solar powered and has been thoughtfully planned to have a lasting life within the Point Lonsdale community.

It features a rainwater capture system which re-uses rainwater for toilet flushing and irrigation, a cross ventilation air conditioning system which works through all of the main community spaces, expansive wall and roof insulation, double-glazed windows to shade from the warm coastal sun, recycled timbers and paint with low Volatile Organic Compounds.

Mr Moore said he was proud to deliver this facility to the community and was looking forward to seeing The Point’s residents and wider community soak in the atmosphere and put it to good use.

“Moremac Property Group has been running an expression of interest campaign to raise awareness of the availability of the facility.

“With 350 square metres of floor area and a series of flexible spaces, the community hub can be used for an array of activities such as yoga classes, community meetings and education programs.”

During the development of The Point, the community hub will be managed by project developer, Moremac Property Group. Once completed, the facility will ultimately be owned and managed by the City of Greater Geelong.

Moremac Property Group has adopted a registration and selection process, similar to that of the city, for the community hub.
