WRA undertook six master planning and concept design studies for Council into the upgrade of facilities in the Civic Precinct from 2004 to the implementation of the Arts, Community and Entertainment Centre project in 2010. 

The Civic Precinct features Council offices, Library, Senior Citizens Centre, car park and the former Civic Hall, which was demolished and replaced by the new centre, now known as The Cube. 

The Cube was designed to work in variable formats with retractable seating and a large operable wall sub-dividing it into two function rooms. New facilities housed within include the Auditorium with retractable seating and audience galleries for 392 people, and the upgrade of the Civic Courtyard for openings, gatherings, and outdoor performances. 

Delivered on budget and program this building has received numerous awards including: 

• Excellence in Construction of Commercial Buildings 2013, MBA NSW 

• Commercial Interior Public & Retail Space 2013, Resene Total Colour Awards
