The three-month wait for the re-opening of the centre ended after $28,500 of repairs were completed.
The cause of the collapse was due to a “buildup of condensation between the roof and the lining of the hall”, according to West Tamar mayor Christina Holmdahl.
Cr Holmdahl said construction work also included installation of an improved ventilation system.
“We contacted a company of consulting engineers, and asked them to do an audit of the whole building,” she said.
“They were happy that there were no other areas that were likely to do the same thing.
“They recommended we install proper ventilation in the hall, which we have done to mitigate it from it ever happening again.”
With the re-opening of the centre, a number of community groups are now able to reconvene, such as the Loft Youth Centre
The group meets on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, however was unable to run in its usual capacity while the centre was closed.
The group organises sport and recreational events for about 35 children aged 10 to 16.
West Tamar Council youth development officer Andrew Beeston runs the program.
“It's really a nice place for [participants] to chill out, relax and have a bit of fun,” Mr Beeston said.
“It's a safe place for all young people to come and belong and to find a bit of support as well.
“If they need a chat or want to find out about other youth services it's a safe place for them to come and do that.”
Mr Beeston emphasised the role of the Beaconsfield Community Centre in the program.
“The centre is really a space for them that they can own for themselves,” he said.
“When it was closed there was definitely something missing for them.”
Cr Holmdahl said it was “absolutely vital” for the municipality to have these kinds of facilities available.
“The main reason councils exist is to provide a lifestyle to their ratepayers that they want,” Cr Holmdahl said.
“I think that the halls and the community centres are what create our communities.”
