The Meredith Community Centre has been part of the Meredith community for almost 40 years.

Our story began in 1987, when the Meredith Community House was established in the former head teacher’s residence at the old Meredith State School.

Among the original members who helped establish the Community House was Dawn MacDonald OAM, whose involvement reflects the strong community spirit and commitment that have been part of the Centre since its earliest days.

From these humble beginnings, the Community House grew into a place where local people could come together, learn new skills, take part in activities, access support and build connections.

Over the years, staff, volunteers, committee members and community members have continued to shape the Centre and respond to the changing needs of the Meredith community.

In 2000, the organisation became Meredith Community Centre Inc, strengthening its role as an incorporated community organisation.

After more than 25 years in the old school residence, the Centre entered an exciting new chapter. In 2014–15, the Meredith Community Learning Hub was developed in partnership with Golden Plains Shire, Meredith Kindergarten and the local community.

The new facility created opportunities for the Community Centre to expand its programs, services and community activities while continuing the welcoming spirit that had been established many years earlier.

Today, the Meredith Community Centre continues to be a place where people can connect, learn, volunteer, access support and share their skills.

While our facilities and services have changed over the years, our purpose remains much the same — bringing people together and strengthening our community.

We are proud of our history and grateful to the many people who have contributed to the Centre over the years. From our original members and volunteers to the people who continue to give their time and skills today, the Centre has always been built by the community, for the community.

The Meredith Community Centre is more than a building — it is a part of the story of Meredith.
