The construction of a new community hall for Rappville is a priority for Richmond Valley Council after the original hall was destroyed during the September 2019 bushfires.

This important project is being jointly funded by the Australian Government, BizRebuild, a bushfire-recovery initiative of the Business Council of Australia, and Council, through its insurance funds from the loss of the hall.

The proposed plans are designed by award-winning Sydney architect Virginia Kerridge, with landscape architecture by Jane Irwin, the new plans include a generous sized hall and outdoor deck, a separate building housing a communal kitchen and supper room, along with a covered outdoor dining area, as well as storage and amenities areas.
