THE Coffs Conservatorium building on Bray Street is undergoing a second major development project thanks to a successful funding application to Create NSW.

“The much-needed upgrade to the air conditioning system at the Con is long overdue, with the aged system frequently presenting problems and requiring constant care,” Coffs Conservatorium Executive Director Patrick Brearley told News Of The Area.

“The Air Conditioning Refurbishment Project has begun to take shape with local builders and businesses developing a plan to deliver a purpose-built and cost-efficient final result.”

Having secured partial funding through grant applications in 2022, this project will replace the aged, inefficient and unreliable system that has been in place since the Silvers, and then Copa Banana, nightclub days of the building more than twelve years ago.

“The Conservatorium is actively fundraising to meet the shortfall of the grant and deliver a world-class system for our Performance Space and teaching studios,” said Patrick.

For this to be achieved, a fundraising target of $35,000 has been set and the Con is keen to hear of public support to help raise funds and reach the goal.

“This money will allow the completion of the project without having to delay any part of it due to financial restraint,” he said.

Donations and sponsorships are very welcome, with long-term business promotion opportunities available.

Patrick Brearley welcomes the chance to discuss how you could contribute to the successful project, and how the Conservatorium can create long-term acknowledgement.

Any contribution is welcome, don’t hesitate to contact the Con to discuss this with Patrick on 6652 1592 or pbrearley@coffscon.org.au.
