Drop In Morning Tea

On the first Friday of each month a community morning tea is held between 11am and 12.30pm. Come along and have a cuppa and a chat. The morning tea is free to members, or $2 for non-members. We can organize transport to enable you to attend - just let us know in advance if you require this. The transport cost is $2.

Free Legal Information

A solicitor is available on the first Tuesday of the month between 5.30pm and 7.30pm if you require legal information. Phone to book a 20 minute appointment.

New to the Area?

If you are a resident new to Drummoyne-Concord-Rhodes let us show you the local area - its services, parks and some history too. Free tours run on two Saturdays each month from 2pm till 4pm. The tours start from either the Drummoyne Community Centre, (13 February), or from Concord Senior Citizens Centre (20 February, 13 & 27 March) and cover the whole of the Local Government Area.

We can send or receive a fax for you, or do your photocopying - all at a reasonable cost.

Private Functions

Our hall, on the edge of Drummoyne Park and overlooking Five Dock Bay, is available for hire. It caters for up to 100 people and has wheelchair access. The hall can be divided in two for smaller functions. It is frequently used for meetings, classes, birthday parties, anniversaries and luncheons.

The Internet Shopping service for residents with health or mobility problems that live in the City of Canada Bay or Burwood Local Government areas will close from January 2010.
