Crabbes Creek Community Hall upgrade

After experiencing flood damage, we upgraded the community hall in Crabbes Creek to improve its resilience and usability. We used flood-resistant materials and design elements to help reduce the impact of future flood events.

We made the hall more accessible and inclusive by adding ramps, accessible amenities, an accessible car park, and linking pathways. We also installed an accessible public toilet to provide essential facilities for visitors and users of the Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

With these improvements, the Crabbes Creek Community Hall is now a safe and inclusive space for gatherings, events, and activities for years to come.
