Proposed: Shark Bay Community Precinct - Have Your Say!

Proposed construction of a Shark Bay Community Precinct

The Shire is exploring options for a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient and climate-responsive community precinct in Denham. The precinct could bring together the public library, digital access, community meeting and training spaces, customer service, Council administration and spaces for civic decision-making.

The precinct could improve access to services and technology, support community organisations and visiting service providers, encourage learning and local enterprise, and provide flexible spaces for residents and visitors.
