$2million upgrade and restoration for Central Coast Conservatorium

T he Central Coast Conservatorium of Music welcomed Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast and Member for Terrigal, Adam Crouch to look over the progress of the of its premises at 45 Mann Street. Mr Crouch was impressed with how quickly the work was proceeding and commended the Conservatorium board and management for their excellent oversight of the project. “When the Premier visited the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music last September, she told everyone to ‘hop to it’, and it’s fantastic to see this $2 million project proceeding so quickly,” Mr Crouch said. Claire Braund, Chair of the CCCM Premises and Building Committee said the organisation was very pleased with the progress of the work to date - particularly the new, rust and leak free roof and the bonus discovery of some interesting historical artefacts in the ceiling

cavity, including some early 20thC Police Gazettes.  "The heritage value of this building is significant, so the entire project team is taking much care to ensure we get it right. To this end we are working closely with heritage consultants RKH and Councils' heritage officers on all aspects of the work and with the architect and builder to document the restoration and upgrade work." Patrick Brennan, Artistic Director with the Conservatorium said the impact on teachers, staff and thewider Conservatoriumcommunity would be significant with the addition of new teaching studios, offices and amenities and restoring and retouching the wonderful Robert Knox Hall and other rooms in the 19th Century building. "The Conservatorium is privileged to be the custodian of this building and to know it

continues to be used every day by people from across the Central Coast to further musical education and performance opportunities in our community.” History The main masonry building began as a courthouse in c1849 designed under the leadership of the NSW Government Architect Mortimer Lewis. It had many subsequent alterations and additions; including a 1887 courtroom designed under the NSW Government Architect James Barnet. As such It is the oldest public building on the Central Coast and provides a rare example of a public courthouse. By the 1970s it was inadequate as a courtroom and police station and it became the Gosford Conservatorium of Music in 1984, now the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music. • Chemical herbicides and pesticides • Artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings • Genetic modification • Soy, dairy and eggs, animal products • Added sugar FREE FROM FREE FROM FREE FROM • Chemical herbicides and pesticides • Artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings • Genetic modification • Soy, dairy and eggs, animal products • Added sugar Lower salt Promotes gut health FREE FROM • Chemical herbicides and pesticides • Artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings • Genetic modification • Soy, dairy and eggs, animal products • Added sugar Chemical h rbicides and pesticides • Artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings Genetic modification • Soy, dairy and eggs, animal products • Added sugar
