Creating a community hub has been a focus of community facility planning at The Ponds. The hub will be based on the refurbishment of the sales centre that is strategically positioned in close proximity to the local school.
In the future a retail centre will be constructed close to the centre. The sales centre will ultimately be extended and converted into a multi-functional community facility. It will include meeting and technology education rooms and a large commercial kitchen for use by hirers and hospitality students.
The aim is to provide a life-long learning environment for the residents at The Ponds in this multi-purpose facility. The car park area will be transformed into a hall for recreational activities such as yoga, pilates and tai chi.
Landcom also engaged a firm to undertake extensive collaboration with the community to ensure they are fully involved in the decision making process for this important community asset. Blacktown City Council will manage this central facility. It has embraced the community hub concept of keeping several major facilities in a common location, which will greatly assist with their management.
