Preparations Begin For New Collinsville Community Hub

Preparations are officially underway for the construction of the new Collinsville Community Hub, marking a major milestone for the town’s social and recreational future.

Whitsunday Regional Council has announced that the current Collinsville Community Centre will close after 26 November 2025 to allow site preparation and equipment storage to commence ahead of construction.

The new Community Hub is expected to provide a modern, versatile space that better meets the needs of residents, local groups, and visiting organisations. Once complete, it will serve as a central point for gatherings, meetings, and events—continuing the strong community spirit that Collinsville is known for.

To ensure activities can continue during the construction period, Council has arranged for community events to be temporarily relocated to the Collinsville Rugby League Clubhouse. This arrangement will ensure there’s room for local groups to meet and for social activities to continue uninterrupted.

Council say they are eager to see this long-awaited project move forward and will share updates as key milestones are reached, including the announcement of the successful tenderer and the commencement of construction.

Council also said they will provide construction dates, progress updates, and further details once the tender has been awarded.

The Whtisunday Regional Council urge residents to stay tuned as thye prepare to bring this exciting new community hub to life in Collinsville!
