UPDATE RE: COVID-19

Due to recent restrictions placed on community centres as a result of the current health crisis surrounding COVID-19, we are currently unable to accept bookings for Room Hire.

We have placed a temporary block on all requests for hire between now and 31 May 2020. Any bookings for dates on or after 01/06/2020 will still be accepted, however these are subject to change pending further government advice. If a booking is made for a date after 01/06/2020 which cannot proceed, you will be contacted and given the option to reschedule or cancel. Any bookings made will be deemed tentative until it can be established that we can open the Centre again. Invoices will not be raised until this time. 

We will continue to monitor advice from the Australian and NSW governments, and update this information as required. We apologise for the inconvenience, and hope to see you back again soon.
