Samford Parklands Community Hub
Building Better Regions
Moreton Bay Regional Council sought assistance with the preparation of a grant application to the Building Better Regions Fund to obtain financial support for Council's Samford Parklands Community Hub project. The project proposed to repurpose a former CSIRO site in the Samford Valley, which contained uninhabitable and unsafe buildings, into a vibrant multi-purpose community facility that would form the first stage of the revival of the Samford Parklands.
CPR Group prepared a comprehensive application with supporting documentation including a Business Case, Risk Management Plan and Cost Benefit Analysis. The process involved extensive engagement and collaboration with Council and local community groups, allowing for a comprehensive long-term community and enterprise precinct to be designed in response to the region’s identified needs.
Moreton Bay Regional Council was successful in securing over $2 million dollars’ worth of funding for the Samford Parklands Community Hub.
The Hub is an innovative concept that will stimulate the economy, increase local social capital and enhance community cohesion for the Moreton Bay Region.
It is also intended to fuel further investment in the parklands, making this a catalyst project for future economic growth and development in the region.
