Our aim is to provide a modern purpose built building which will serve the needs of our member groups for many decades.

It will give all of our Groups a central place to:

  • Hold meetings and social gatherings
  • Engage in studies and pastimes
  • Hold community events
  • Participate in recreational and sporting activities

 

It will assist in meeting the needs of over 2,500 people in the local community. A number of facilities presently serving the community are in need of major renovation and/or replacement, and many local groups do not have a permanent home.


Local Neighbourhood Safer Place

  • Since Black Saturday the Victorian Government has been keen to designate “Neighbourhood Safer Places”
  • The football oval is the designated local Neighbourhood Safer Place for Upwey & Tecoma, and may be used in the event of a local emergency
  • Our new building could be used as a meeting place or for emergency accommodation.  It will not be a designated fire refuge.
  • Our master plan incorporates initiatives to ensure that the site is compliant with Neighbourhood Safer Place guidelines.
