Overview

The ACT Government is building a new community centre in Gungahlin. The centre will provide flexible spaces for activities, meetings, and events.

The centre is located near the Gungahlin light rail stop and bus interchange. This location makes it easy for people across the district to access the facility.

The project responds to the needs of Gungahlin’s growing population. It will provide modern spaces where people can meet, learn, and take part in community programs.
