The Stawell Entertainment Centre is a valued local space that supports a wide range of activities and events throughout the year. It is regularly used by local community groups, clubs, organisations, businesses and residents for meetings, classes, workshops, celebrations and special events.
The Stawell Entertainment Centre Activation Project aims to better understand what support users of the centre require and how council can improve its facilities, services and booking processes.
Through a process of engagement with key stakeholders, as well as regular and casual users of the centre, council seeks to understand the key issues, challenges and opportunities available.
A key outcome of this project will be the development of a Future Directions Report for the operation and activation of the facility to deliver a wide range of arts, culture and entertainment options for the community into the future.
The community engagement period started in August 2026 and will conclude in late September. Any active user groups of the facility are encouraged to contact Tina or Tony on the details provided to find out how you can be involved in the forthcoming engagement process. General public engagement opportunities will be shared when they are available.
This Council Plan and Municipal and Public Health and Wellbeing Plan project sits within the 'Live it Up' Goal to help 'People feel connected, included and safe' and aligns with the action to 'Build up local arts, culture, events, and the places that bring people together.'
