Multipurpose and Evacuation Centre
Project Status
At the August 2025 Council meeting, Council resolved to award the contract for the construction of the Multipurpose and Evacuation Centre (MEC) at the Russell Street end of Richmond Park in Tumut.
Construction commenced in September 2025.
This major project will deliver a modern, purpose-built venue to support both the everyday needs and future resilience of the Snowy Valleys’ community.
Key features of the new centre include indoor multipurpose courts equivalent to two basketball courts, viewing stands for spectators, male/female amenities and change areas, reception area, indoor café area, significant storage space for emergencies, landscaped curtilages, and off-street parking for 50 vehicles.
The new facility will enable local and regional indoor sporting competitions to be held in Tumut, as well as providing flexible spaces to host conferences, school programs, community gatherings and events; and functionality to operate the facility as an evacuation centre during emergencies.
The project is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments under the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund.
