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, (4 September), or from Concord Senior Citizens Centre (7 & 28 August, 18 September) and cover the whole of the Local Government Area.
