No, we would fill the space in one gathering, meaning we wouldn’t have space to grow. So we plan to continue in two worship gatherings, 9am and 11am, giving plenty of space for us to grow. We do hope to meet in one gathering for the period of time we are offsite during construction.

We’ll have the same number of car parks as we currently have. We are not required to have any more for consent reasons, though we appreciate it would be nice for practical reasons. There are ample street parking spaces available on weekends, and with the stronger connection via Harold St, we anticipate this will help spread the parking load across both sides of our site - Colombo St and Buchan St.

The availability of suitable ministry spaces is really limited in our location - mostly surrounded by light industrial - requiring significant compromises without serious fit-out investment, and we remain at the mercy of landlords.

We will have to consider scaling back the extension and mezzanine in the Children’s Ministry spaces. This would reduce costs by ~$600,000 but would also reduce our CM capacity from 122 to 66 children.

We hope to submit consent applications in December, so we want to have confidence we have the funds needed for the project to go ahead.

No — this is for anyone and everyone... but especially for those who call The Well Church home. The invitation is proportional: give what you can. What matters is the heart behind it, not the amount (Luke 21:1–4).

That’s OK - we’re not asking anyone to do something they cannot. A one-off gift alone is a full and valid response; the two-part ask is an invitation, not a requirement. If 3-years feels too long, that’s OK too; simply indicate what you can commit to.
