The redevelopment of the Reservoir Civic Centre is a major capital works project of the City of Darebin, with a project budget of $8 million. The Centre will be home to a range of community organisations and Council services.

The design, construction and operations of the Reservoir Civic Centre (RCC) will be a demonstration of Darebin Council?s commitment to environmental sustainability and community wellbeing.
