Council worked closely with the operators of a playgroup, which has been housed at Exhibition Hall since the 1980s, to support their ongoing operation at another location. The demolition of the building has been included in the draft Budget for the 2025/26 Financial Year. The site will be remediated following the demolition. Any decisions about the future of the site will be considered by Council.
