HAVE you been wondering what’s happening at 17 Turner Street in Beerwah?
With support from Caloundra Community Centre who has a long history of commitment and connection to Glasshouse Country, a team of local passionate volunteers have been working together to fulfil a dream held over many decades by many people to establish a Neighbourhood Centre in Beerwah.
Beerwah Neighbourhood Centre will be a vital central hub for community. The Centre’s purpose is to create a welcoming, safe, and inclusive space where people can find a sense of belonging in a supportive environment.
The Centre will bring together various community activities and groups under one roof, including providing a dedicated and affordable space for groups to meet, and has three primary function,
Firstly, to provide a place for community connection where people can grow friendships, build social support, and feel valued as an active citizen.
Secondly, to provide a central location for residents to access information and support services. And finally, offering a space where people can come together to work collectively to contribute to local solutions.
As a preview to the Centre’s opening early next year, we’re inviting community to pop by on Wednesday December 17 between 9am–12:30pm for a cuppa, tour of the building, and to find out how you might be involved in creating a space where people have the opportunity to flourish. In the meantime, follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see how preparations for the Centre are coming along. We look forward to meeting you!
