The Gorman Arts Centre turns 100 this year.
Plans for the upgrade of the Gorman Arts Centre continue with the development application now submitted.
The planned upgrades for the century-old complex will conserve heritage values and improve functionality.
This will include fit-for-purpose, accessible and inclusive workspaces for artists, as well as spaces for the community to experience art and arts activities.
The Gorman Arts Centre is occupied by some of the ACT’s leading arts organisations, smaller arts groups, arts businesses and individual artists.
Consultation has been underway with residents to ensure the upgrades create a vibrant and connected arts hub for artists and the community, and any disruption during construction is minimised.
The Development Application process will ensure all technical and heritage requirements will be met.
It also provides a further opportunity for feedback during the public notification period.
Pending approval of the Development Application, construction work will start later in 2024. Early works, not requiring Development Approval, are scheduled to start in July 2024.
The phased approach to the upgrades will help minimise disruption to occupants and their visitors, students and audiences.
The ACT Government will assist with any temporary relocations on site as work progresses.
The Gorman Arts Centre turns 100 this year.
This project is being funded by both the ACT and Australian governments.
