From 12 October existing hirers that are community groups, not-for-profit organisations and churches can book spaces at our community venues. This adds to the self-help groups, weddings, funerals and wakes who can already make bookings.

We've reduced the bookings at our venues to comply with NSW Health orders and support the health and safety of our employees and visitors. Please see the Covid-19 pre-hire checklist below for details about special hiring conditions.

Our community centre services and programs are running at a reduced level and you'll need to book a session to attend.

We continue to offer online programs.
