Johnston and Farrar - Local Facility
The recent growth of Johnston and Farrar has resulted in a substan al popula on increase in this locality.
Based on the popula on growth projec ons of this locality these adjacent suburbs will combine to demand the needs for a Community Centre, Youth Centre and Seniors Centre at a Local Level in the long term.
In this locality the provision of senior’s space within the centre development will provide an alternate space to the Joy Anderson Centre for seniors ac vi es and is in a loca on to service the wider locality. The use of the space as a
‘Care’ space or an ‘Ac ve’ space for seniors would need to be determined through further inves ga ons.
The provision of a mul purpose facility to meet the needs of the community which aligns with the Desired Standards of Service should be pursued on an exis ng zone CP site located at 8 Lind Road, Johnston (Lot 11256) currently iden ed as Crown land.

RECOMMENDATION
PROVISION OF A MULTIPURPOSE COMMUNITY CENTRE THAT ALSO ALLOWS FOR BOTH YOUTH AND SENIORS PATRONAGE TO MEET DESIRED STANDARDS OF SERVICE (LOCAL) WITHIN THE JOHNSTON AND FARRAR LOCALITY.
The nature of the facility should cater for community uses to include general community services and the u lisa on as a youth centre in its design. Given the large site area of the lot and its loca on adjacent to a commercial centre, an opportunity for Council to consider addi onal space by way of leasable space to private enterprise that serves a community purpose could also be considered. This opportunity may also give rise to a possible public/private partnership which may assist in the provision of the facility which should be inves gated.
