Whyalla City Council are on a time crunch to relocate their Civic Building operations as the lifespan of the current Civic Building dwindles.

Once there, the council will decide whether to continue operations from that site, relocate to an alternate site, or demolish and rebuild at the current City Plaza location.
Mayor Stone says the existing Civic Building will be dealt with to ensure it doesn’t become derelict – with demolition the most likely option.
