The Captial Development Authority has decided to make the Gandhara Heritage and Culture and Convention Centre in F-9 Citizen Club functional.<\/p>\n
For this purpose, CDA has added three private members to the management committee which will run the convention center.<\/p>\n
For a couple of years now, the F9 Park\u2019s Citizen Club has remained under the ministry of health as one of the Capital\u2019s largest Covid-19 vaccination centers.<\/p>\n
Presently, the building is housing security personnel stationed in the capital as part of security for Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf\u2019s (PTI) long march.<\/p>\n
As soon as the three new names are approved by the federal cabinet, CDA plans to put the convention center into operation.<\/p>\n
The covered space of the citizen club, which spans 22 acres, is 265,000 square feet. The structure has amenities like dining options, an indoor pool, a gym, a lobby, an aerobics room, and a fitness center.<\/p>\n
The CDA began work on the club building project in 2008, however, once the structure was finished, the Supreme Court decided that the building could not be used as a club.<\/p>\n
Last year, CDA decided that the convention center would be managed by a board of governors as it approved rules for it.<\/p>\n
A board of governors will run the center, according to guidelines established by the CDA board in October of last year.<\/p>\n
The center would be utilized to host meetings, exhibits, and provide sporting facilities, including a gym, according to the CDA.<\/p>\n
The center will also contain a museum that showcases the Gandhara culture in addition to other club amenities.<\/p>\n
The board agreed last year that while citizens might use the facilities, there would be no requirement for a mandatory membership.<\/p>\n
The citizen will, however, pay for the facility they use.<\/p>\n
A one-time\/lifetime membership will also be offered, costing Rs 500,000, with a monthly subscription fee of Rs 2,500.<\/p>\n
As per documents, the general public can also pay a monthly subscription fee for each facility they use, including:<\/p>\n
A security deposit of Rs. 50 000 will also be required from the citizens, according to the documents.<\/p>\n
