| Waverley Council stages. As part of the project, they are looking at how to best utilise a series of buildings they own on a particular street block. Many of those buildings are heritage-listed properties whilst others are in need of maintenance and repair. Council is considering a variety of options for those properties. One is to potentially consolidate the council chamber – which is currently spread out across 14 separate buildings – into a handful of properties along that street block. Another is to convert them into entertainment facilities such as late night dining restaurants and public galleries, or to even use the real estate to bring in five-star hotel accommodation. In recent years, Council has also completed a plan of management for Bondi Beach, Bondi Park and Bondi Pavilion. The first stage of that plan was delivered around Christmas of last year and involved improvements to the facilities and amenities at Bondi Park. The next stage of that plan involves the $37 million refurbishment of the “much-beloved” Bondi Pavilion: a building with great community sentiment, but one that currently doesn’t provide much value on account of its significant maintenance costs. Another area of focus for Waverley Council
