Discussion

What should the space created by the demolition of International House and its carpark be used for?

<p></p><p>Groups currently meeting at International House have been offered the chance to transition to a more modern facility at the soon-to-be-completed <a href="http://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/Libraries/North-Fitzroy-Community-Hub/">North Fitzroy Community Hub</a>. Due to the poor condition of the building, International House and its associated carpark will be demolished, which will free up space for new or expanded park features (e.g. additional green open space, new multi-use sports court, expanded skate facility, improved picnic/BBQ area, additional park furniture).</p>
