Gawler Civic Centre
The two-year Project, which opened in April 2019, consisted of the significant redevelopment of the heritage-listed Gawler Institute and Town Hall buildings, extending and connecting them. The three-storey Institute building was gutted on the inside, leaving only its historic façade and roof structures, which required meticulous planning and significant temporary propping to enable the complete internal re-construction and fitout. The adjacent Town Hall building was redeveloped and extended with a 2-storey commercial office building, seamlessly linking the heritage building with a modern extension. Fitout works comprised of modern technologies and facilities for a variety of community end-users. The Civic Centre now includes a digital business innovation hub, multi-purpose function venue, Indigenous social enterprise café, a new-look Gawler Heritage Collection Gallery and Council Library, and a refreshed Gawler Club which has been located in the Town Hall basement since 1873.
