Centrehouse
Last updated Friday, 26 Nov 2010.Centrehouse opened in1979 as part of the Creative Leisure Movement as, "a cultural and recreational centre and to provide facilities for creative leisure activities for adults and children, group meetings, and for the succour of the needy and distressed." Local and Australian art icon Guy Warren OAM was one of the original trustees. In the 1970's, innovative projects and grants from Australia Council and Neighbourhood Centres Association helped the centre to grow into the broadly based community centre it is today.
Additional purpose: Community cultural classes are held in the rooms of this former residence.
