Caversham Community Centre will cost about $3.71 million – slightly more than the original estimate of $3.67 million in the City’s long-term financial plan.
It will be built on the corner of Suffolk Street and Flindell Avenue and be at the site of a proposed sporting oval.
Features will include a function hall, kitchen, meeting and activity room, clubrooms, change rooms and a playground.
