The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is talking to Golata Creek community members (including Clearview, Clayhurst, Goodlow, and Flatrock) to help decide the future of the grounds located at 6161 Golata Creek Road. The existing hall was closed in 2022 due to structural safety issues. The PRRD has allocated $500,000, depending on community support via referendum (which is a community-wide ballot on a specific question), to develop the site.
The plan is for the Golata Creek Community Association, who have run the hall for a long time, to keep managing the potential new space. They would do this through an agreement with the PRRD. The agreement would include things like requirements for safety, regular reporting and annual inspections.
What We're Asking the Community
Are you in support of building a new community space?
What are your priorities for a community space?
Do you support using tax dollars to fund a new community space?
Key Decisions
To keep planning for a possible new site moving forward, the following decisions will be made by the Regional Board using community input and staff recommendations:
Determining the type of space to explore: hall replacement, outdoor recreation or other community-lead options
Funding: Deciding on whether to establish a 'taxation service area' (a defined geographic boundary where property owners contribute to a specific service) for ongoing operations and maintenance
Community referendum: A mandatory vote to approve the service area and associated taxation
Next Steps for the Community
Learn more: Explore this project page to learn more about the facility history, potential cost projections (coming soon) and review the structural assessment of the Golata Creek Community Hall
Take the survey and share ideas: Visit the project page to take the online survey, share your ideas for the community space through an Interactive Ideas tool and sign up for project updates
Save the date: Please mark your calendar for a community meeting on April 30, 2025 at the Clearview Arena from 6:30pm to 8:30 pm to engage with the project team

Golata Community Space Project is currently at this stage
This phase will include finding out from the community if there is support for a new community space and taxation. The community can find out more at the Community Meeting in April, and provide feedback by filling out the survey or contacting the Community Services Department at the Peace River Regional District.
Board Decision
this is an upcoming stage for Golata Community Space Project
In May of 2025, a report will go forward to the Board of the Peace River Regional District relating to the results of the community engagement project. The Board will make a decision on how to move forward with the information that you provided.
Letting the Community Know
this is an upcoming stage for Golata Community Space Project
Once the Board of the Peace River Regional District has made a decision on how to move forward with the project, this decision will be communicated back out to the Golata Creek Community. What is decided will inform the next steps of the project. Next steps could include designing a new hall, community space, or leaving the land vacant. If a new hall or community space are supported, more work would be done to find out what would be wanted in a space and bring back options and costs for refinement.
