Canley Heights Community Centre grand opening

Residents are invited to the grand opening of Canley Heights Community Centre on Saturday, when a range of fun activities for families will be held to mark the occasion.

The centre provides some important facilities for the community, most importantly the large hall space which can be used as a gathering space for a variety of purposes, including cultural, arts and performance and more.

Facilities contained within the centre include the new 100m2 Rumbriah Hall, early childhood health centre, community offices and meeting spaces, kitchen facilities, 38-space car park and Derby Street Park.

The centre will be formally recognised with the placement of a plaque by the Mayor. There will also be a tree planting ceremony commemorating much-loved Cabramatta Rotary Club member Bill Little.

In celebration, the day will include plenty of activities for the whole family. Children will have a great time with a performance from ABC's Dirt Girl, who'll help them decorate their very own eco pot and plant their own seedlings. There will also be a jumping castle to enjoy.

World music fusion band Lolo Lovina will perform an eclectic mix of gypsy swing, electro swing, jazz and tango on a converted caravan while Heights Community Centre members will demonstrate line dancing. Canley Heights Community Group will also run a jumble sale and tea stall out of Rumbriah Hall.

Refreshments will be available, with the Canley Heights RSL Rolling Chef food truck and ice-cream on site.

Fairfield City Council delivered the Canley Heights Community Centre for the local community on land dedicated by the Rotary Club of Cabramatta on behalf of the Canley Heights Progress Hall Inc, with the assistance of the NSW State Government.
