Township of Centre Wellington Operations Centre
|
- The Township of Centre Wellington has six existing works facilities that were integrated into the Township of Centre Wellington through amalgamation. Some of these older facilities are 50 to 60 years old, are at or above capacity, are in deteriorating condition and are reaching the end of their service life.
- To address the issues, the Centre Wellington Council Strategic Plan 2019-2022 provided a strategic direction and initiative to open a new operations facility. to further that initiative, a space needs assessment and concept design study was completed. The study identified space requirements for the 20-year timeframe to accommodate Township staff, vehicles, equipment and material requirements for multiple departments including for growth to 2041.
- The recommended option from this study is to build a new multi-departmental Operations Centre in two phases on a 20 acre centrally located site.
- A site selection process led to the purchase of a 20-acre site located at 965 Gartshore Street in Fergus for the future Operations Centre.
- The next phase of the project will include technical studies and planning work to re-zone the site and prepare it for development. This work is planned to begin in Summer 2022 and continue through to Spring 2023.
