Silverdale plans for new hub
A new community hub and marketplace is proposed for Silverdale, led by its business association.
Creating the modern equivalent of a village green community hub is the latest aspiration of local business association, Silverdale Business.
The organisation hopes to create this hub, including a covered market, within the Pioneer Village at the top of Silverdale Street.
The proposal, presented to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board at its Community Forum last month, includes moving one of the historic buildings and constructing a substantial new building to provide cover for a 7-day a week, high quality market. It would also be a flexible space for community use, including entertainment.
