The Middle Head Transition Centre Proposal
The Veteran Committee for the Middle Head Transition Centre (MHTC) aims to provide Australian Defence Force (ADF) members separating from Defence with a learning centre that supports and empowers veterans to assimilate effectively back into society and reduces the risk of suicide.
The MHTC Proposal is an opportunity restoring the Timber Barracks buildings on Middle Head, particularly Barrack B1, to be adaptively reused for community and/or commercial purposes.
The MHTC will facilitate support for members separating from the Australian Defence Force through a learning centre that supports and empowers veterans to effectively assimilate back into society and reduce the risk of suicide.
Heritage architect Graham Brooks considers the MHTC an important opportunity for the Australian Government. He supports a "Stay of Demolition for the three barracks, to facilitate the consolidation of this new initiative of National Significance." Read more here →
