The Forest Lake Community Hall has been an integral part of the community as it provides indoor space for community gatherings as well as private functions. This month, the Brisbane City Council is giving those who will book it for a function the first four hours free.
The hall in Forest Lake looks very contemporary having been recently built in 2016. It is located at 60 College Avenue. The hall has a hall space and a balcony that can accommodate over 100 people. It also features a large meeting room, bathroom amenities, storage and kitchen facilities.
The terms and conditions for hiring the hall are:
- Event/function must be for a not-for-profit organisation or individual hirer (commercial organisations not eligible)
- Clients must provide feedback
- Functions longer than four hours must be billed the additional time
- Additional fees for the use of AV equipment, kitchen facilities, and security
- Limited to one free booking per client
Upon the opening of the $2-million hall on 16 January in 2016, it faced controversy following its unfinished loos that residents posted on social media. A council spokesperson explained then that work on the hall was still underway on the open day.
