Bay Discovery Centre Review: Stage 2

This includes the incorporation, display and interpretation of tangible, real history elements that currently sit within the collection at the Holdfast History Centre.

Do you believe the City of Holdfast Bay should be displaying the history of the area and the State? How should the history of Holdfast Bay and the State be displayed? How can we make history more appealing to you?

The current Visitor Information Centre operates from Marina Pier. It is evident that there is a need for visitor information nearer to the Jetty Road/Moseley Square area.

Does the Jetty Road/Moseley Square area require a Visitor Information Centre? Should visitor information be provided from the Town Hall building?

There is currently a gallery space on the ground floor of the Glenelg Town Hall building that is used for regular, changing art exhibitions.

How appealing is it for a gallery space to be available in the centre? What type of art and history displays would you like to see?

There is an opportunity to evaluate the Town Hall's role as a community hub and civic building. This includes the potential for incprporating community facilities and services such as a customer service centre and the opportunity for community meeting rooms or a function facility which can be hired out. In addition there is the opportunity to utilise the first floor space and the mezzanine levels of the Town Hall building for the Glenelg Library.

What are your thoughts about having customer service, the library and/or community meeting rooms included in the Glenelg Town Hall Building?

There is an opportunity to use part of the space for a café that uses local and South Australian produce which allows people within the centre to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The café may be opened up to the inside of the centre and also allow for tables and chairs to spill out onto the foreshore, which will allow for patrons to enjoy the pristine coastline of Glenelg.

How appealing is a café serving local produce? Would it encourage you to visit the centre? Do you think it will add to the vibrancy of the centre?

The Glenelg foreshore currently lacks free entertainment for children and families.

Would you like to see a playground in the Jetty Road/Moseley Square area? Would a playground make you want to visit the area? Would it encourage you to stay longer?

As Glenelg gets a large number of tourists, there is the opportunity to have a shop selling small souvenirs and cellar door facility would allow Glenelg to showcase local South Australian produce and sample the best of South Australia.

What are your thoughts on having a small shop and cellar door facility in the Town Hall building? Do you think it would be of benefit to visitors?
