A new community hub building is to be built at Paisley Park Sportsplex in West Belfast
At the Belfast City Council Planning Committee this week, elected members approved the erection of a new two storey, split level community hub building, including changing rooms, as well as a single modular changing room building, alongside associated car parking, paths and landscape site-works.
Two new initiatives will run within the new community hub. The first is “Our Children and Young People” which the council says will provide “a positive environment for those most vulnerable by developing and promoting mental health and wellbeing projects via sport.” The second initiative will be called “Our Safe Community” which the council says will “promote community participation and respect through using codesign principles at every stage of its activity development.
“The scheme includes an upgrade of the existing sportsplex which represents a number of football, bowling and boxing clubs and the building of a community hub. The scheme is considered to meet the policy requirement in that a need has been established to improve and extend the community facility in this location.”
“The proposed scheme will aim to use responsible sourced materials with accreditations to promote lower carbon footprint and sustainable manufacturing processes.
