THERE’s been a long-standing desire for a community centre in Beerwah, similar to the neighbourhood centres in Glass House Mountains and Landsborough.
Earlier this month a group of hinterland residents came together, supported by Caloundra Community Centre, to explore the idea of starting one in Beerwah.
The meeting focused on some of the activities that could occur in a community centre in Beerwah and established a Steering Group. Steering group member Lisa commented “This will support local groups who are looking for an affordable space to regularly meet and connect. I am getting a lot of these enquiries at the Glass House Mountains Community Hall from groups in Beerwah.”
Lisa Price and Howard Buckley will be the link with Caloundra Community Centre for the project.
“It’s great to see dedicated people from the community forming a Steering Group which will work towards getting a Centre here in Beerwah,” she said. If you’re interested in being involved or finding out more, please contact Lauren Barone, Glass House Country Community Development Worker on 0491 713 030 for more information.
