The brand new facility replaces a 60-year-old Scout hall and 30-year-old Rotary shed and includes a community hall, toilets, a meeting room, kitchen and storage area.

Although Marion eventually withdrew from the scheme, both Unley and Mitcham councils committed to finding a site and settled on an area on Goodwood Road at Springbank (now Panorama). The land was purchased for ยฃ4,000 at a cost of ยฃ100 per acre.
