The Sorell Memorial Hall renovation project will deliver key upgrades to support cultural activities, enhance accessibility and preserve local heritage. The project includes the construction of a dedicated greenroom and storage space for community events, a DDA-compliant toilet to improve access for all users, and new facilities for the Sorell Historical Society, including a temperature-controlled storeroom and public exhibition gallery. These improvements aim to strengthen community connections, support local history and ensure the long-term use of this valued community asset.
Project Scope: Sorell Memorial Hall
The Sorell Memorial Hall renovation project aims to enhance community access, improve functionality, and preserve the hall’s historical significance. The scope of works includes the following key components:
Greenroom and Storage Facility
A dedicated greenroom and storage space will be constructed within the Sorell Memorial Hall. The greenroom will support performers and event organisers by providing a designated area for preparation, along with secure storage for costumes, props and equipment. It will include essential amenities to ensure events and performances are run efficiently.
Disability Access Toilet
A new toilet facility compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) will be installed to improve accessibility for people with disability. This addition ensures that the venue is inclusive and meets modern accessibility standards.
Temperature-Controlled Storeroom for the Sorell Historical Society
A purpose-built, temperature-controlled storeroom will be provided to support the preservation of the Sorell Historical Society’s collections. The space will be equipped with climate control, secure storage systems and appropriate infrastructure to protect historical documents, artefacts, and exhibitions.
Public Display Gallery
A permanent public display gallery will be established within the hall to showcase curated exhibitions by the Sorell Historical Society. This gallery will provide an interactive and educational experience for visitors, promoting local history and heritage through professionally presented displays.
