Here is Coonara Community House. I used to live out in the outer eastern suburbs and this community centre was really cool. I spoke to the manager once and they still try to adhere to community development principles. They have pathways to employment and foster community values and empowerment. Its in a beautiful brick building.
It in the other side of town for me now but I did an e-mail course with them when computers just had dial up. You can google community centres or neighborhood houses @TAB they are Australia wide.
I used to do acapella singing at a neighborhood house that was a former nunnery and it was re-made with a glass atrium for a cafe and concerts. They also had picnics under the stars in their vast gardens and a community radio housed at the community center. It was so beautiful! People used to get married in the gardens.
Anyway here's a picture of Coonara: <image>
We have some recently built neighbohood houses in our district with modern outfittings as I said.
