The purpose of this Request for Tender (RFT) is for Masterton District Council (MDC) to identify a single Lead Architect with the expertise to lead the design, providing professional, end-to-end Architectural Design services for Masterton’s new Civic Facility.
An earthquake assessment of the existing town hall resulted in its closure in 2016. The closure of the town hall meant Masterton lost an important community asset, but it also provided the Council with the opportunity to assess the community’s needs and desires, and how such a facility could support the people of Masterton into the future.
This is one of the most important things this Council will deliver for our community – we are committed to doing it once, doing it right, and creating something that the community can be proud of. This is an important decision for the future of Masterton. The new Civic Facility provides an opportunity to achieve our goals and aspirations for the town - bringing Masterton into the 21st century so it is a home that our tamariki and mokopuna can be proud of.
The new Civic Facility is part of our vision to create future-proofed spaces and places for our community, while also incorporating our history. The Architect will be responsible for delivering on this vision and will play a vital role in expressing the desires and aspirations of our community, not only the current generation but for generations to come.
Council is strongly committed to positive environmental outcomes, as climate change is already affecting our region. According to Ministry for the Environment figures, Masterton had the fastest increase in annual average maximum temperatures and gained seven extra warm days (above 25 degrees Celsius) per decade between 1971 and 2019. These trends are predicted to continue, and climate change poses big challenges for our community. As such, the Council is keen to look at all practical options for reducing our carbon emissions, become more resilient, and adapting our operations to changes that are coming our way. Our vision for the future of the Masterton District will only be possible if we address the current and future impacts of climate change. Our design partner needs to understand these challenges and be able to offer sustainable solutions to building design and operations to ensure we are well equipped for the future.
