Our contractor will be taking a short break over the Christmas/New Year period and the site will be closed from Tuesday 23 December to Monday 5 January 2026.

As we near the end of the year let’s look back at the MEC timeline:

  • Dec ’24 – Community Session at Richmond Park
  • Jan ’25 – First MEC e-newsletter
  • Feb ’25 – 150+ join Concept Design presentations

This is the final MEC news update for 2025. We’ll be taking a short break, with no community meetings scheduled for December or January.
