South End Community Centre (SECC)

The SECC is a City-led capital project to deliver a flexible, multi-generational community hub in the South Gate Urban Centre. It is intended to address gaps in recreation, wellness, cultural space, childcare, and community gathering, serving both local neighbourhoods and the broader region.

Council approved $2.0M in September 2025 to advance the project toward a decision-ready Capital Development Plan (target June 2027), including conceptual and schematic design, Class C costing, and supporting studies.

The current phase is focused on confirming project direction, governance, site constraints, and partnership models to reduce delivery and operational risk.
