Heaters (are now coolers as well!)
Hooray!!!
On 26 June 2023 we bid a happy farewell to the difficult to start gas heaters. All halls now have new electric split systems courtesy of a donation from The Tradies Dickson and a rebate from the ACT Gov. through their Business Energy & Water Program. The rooms also have ceiling fans.

The Community Centre is located in Frencham Place, Downer, in a pleasant garden environment.
We have a new booking system which is now via an Australian (WA based) booking agency. ONLINE bookings via Spacetoco https://www.spacetoco.com/host/downer-community-association Please get in touch with Amy at [email protected] or phone on 0404 758876 if you wish to discuss your particular needs. BTW- The Centre was formally the Workshop for CS&IR- the forerunner of the CSIRO, built in 1941. A Conservation Management Plan of the building has been done to preserve its historical significance. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/idrf0ca6j5rm3f5mgvkae/Downer-Community-Centre-Conservation-Management-Plan20240116.pdf?rlkey=lp8x9m2yz3w6fxzkiqc8rxed5&st=cf0u9wgt&dl=0 |
Facilities at the Downer Community Centre
There are three rooms available for hire, usually on a regular basis, primarily to community groups and non-profit organisations.
The East Hall has a hard lino-like floor and seats up to 50.
The West Hall is carpeted and seats up to 55. No food or drink is allowed in this hall.
The smaller East Room seats 15-20, so is suitable for meetings or smaller groups, or if you need a short-term study space.
There is an outside area with sandpit and sunshade cover suitable for children or for big people!
The Centre has a kitchen with a stove, microwave, fridge, urns, cups, cutlery, etc. and male and female toilets. Please note that the Centre does not have disabled toilet facilities and the public toilets near the oval have been decommissioned. An AED/ defibrillator and First Aid box are both affixed to the left hand side wall of the kitchen.

KEYS- When you make a booking you will be given a lock-box code to access the key for the room. These are security keys and expensive to cut. Therefore SpacetoCo will hold a key deposit as part of your booking arrangement.
