South Burnett Regional Council is holding another community consultation to determine the future of Tingoora Hall.
A meeting will be held at Tingoora State School from 6:00pm on Thursday, November 2.
After this, Council will launch an online survey which will be open for 14 days.
The latest round of consultations follows a public meeting held in August last year.
At that meeting, three options were discussed:
- Do nothing and allow the Hall to continue to deteriorate.
- Re-form the Hall’s committee, which would burden its volunteers with the task of raising the $500,000 to $800,000 believed necessary to restore the Hall to working order, as well as finding ways to fund its ongoing maintenance and insurance.
- Sell the Hall building – and perhaps the two blocks of land it stands on – and reinvest any proceeds into creating facilities the Tingoora community actually wants.
It was decided then that more information would be gathered and a further meeting held.
