About Venues
We manage several community centres that are owned by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
These centres provide space that enable community to meet, interact, build relationships, organise and carry out enjoyable, educational and cultural activities.
All venues are wheelchair accessible, low cost and have various spaces from large halls to small meeting rooms at various locations across the region.
Venues are suitable for weddings, family parties, club functions, dancing, playgroup, arts and craft activities – the list is endless.
