Can you imagine that on one public site right here in wonderful Samford that we could have ….
- a Community Library
- 24 hour classrooms for students of all ages
- a working farm side by side with a community farm
- a community-owned energy enterprise bringing cheaper and cleaner energy to our Village
- a kicking off point for integrated adventure trails into the Samford environment
- an Arts Precinct for the community, performers and practicing artists
- a collaborating place for community groups and local businesses to have office space and meeting spaces
- mini conference spaces for the community and local businesses
- an Innovation Hub for creatives and entrepreneurs of all ages
- a ‘pop up’ university space
- creative ‘Immersion Programs’ for schools on STEM, Arts, Sustainability and more
- a Wellbeing Precinct
- a ‘maker space’ for young and old
- food markets, artisan markets and maker festivals
- recycle, reuse and sharing precinct
- eating and socialising venues
- nature based childcare and education precinct
Well that’s what those at Samford Commons, Council and partners in business and community have worked toward and in many cases have started. At a special meeting with Council later next month there will be a decision made about the contributions to be made by both Council, Samford Commons and the community to see this momentum continue.
