Allora Precinct Project To Date
Southern Downs Regional Council says construction has commenced on the Allora Precinct Project, although as of today, 25 February, there is no evidence that work has commenced on the site.
The only visible work to date has been the removal of the Old Fire Station, which was completed last year in September.
It has now been over a month since the contract was awarded, on 22 January 2025, to Brisbane firm, I.C.M. Constructions (Qld) P/L.
The contract indicated that work will be completed within 121 days - making the end date 18 June 2025.
Perry Cronin, President of the Allora Sports Museum is eagerly anticipating a big move into the expanded premises and is looking forward to re-opening late July.
When renovations are complete and the library has moved into the old Senior Citizens Rooms, the entry to the library will be down the side of the Museum (see photo) via the double glass doors and the smaller entrance in Drayton Street will be closed.
Key components of the redevelopment include relocating the library; upgrading the septic, heating and lighting systems; adding new meeting rooms and creating a new after-hours back entry.
As part of the project, the Allora Senior Citizens Centre will close temporarily. Local residents are encouraged to use the Allora Community Hall during this period.
More information on the transition will be shared with the community as work progresses.
