Mrs Bull said part of his research was to get many different community groups with interests in the town hall and ask them what they thought the town could be like in 30 years.
She said early consultation had suggested the future of Martinborough would be about families.
The concept would cater to current residents while attracting others to make Martinborough their home and establish businesses or commute to work in other centres.
"A multi-purpose community centre would be one way of bringing families from both groups together."
Mrs Bull said it could also lessen the isolation that could often occur for people new to an area.
"Martinborough is ready for another catalyst to bring more people to live here and increase its rating and economic base."
In August, Mr Bramley and his team began gathering information and will present a final report to the group at the end of October.
Max Stevens, councillor and chairman of the working group, said it was in the process of doing a "strategic review" with various interest groups.
The objective of the plans was to create a vibrant town centre and a town hall that could be widely used by everyone in the community.
"It's expected the hall's integrity and heritage value will be preserved."
Mr Stevens said no work would be done on the century-old building until the review was completed.
Last year, the group had $900,000 set aside in the council's long-term plan for earthquake strengthening work.
Money for refurbishing the hall is expected to be raised by the community.
