At Tuesday's Meeting, Council voted to support the reopening of the Batemans Bay Community Centre.
The facility has been leased to a not-for-profit community service operator since 2021. Following the tenant's departure in September 2025, Council had been seeking a new tenant while considering future options for the site.
Director of community arts and recreation Kathy Arthur said it was important to assess what's required to reopen and operate the facility successfully.
"The building has been used as office space for the past five years, so a thorough condition assessment will be undertaken, along with any essential maintenance and renewal work to ensure it is fit for purpose," Ms Arthur said.
"We'll examine operational requirements such as staffing, security and management arrangements, as well as community demand to make sure future use is both practical and affordable, in line with the Council resolution."
A report outlining the findings will be presented to councillors for consideration later this year.
