Community rooms

The community rooms within the Northern Beaches Community Hub provide flexible, bookable spaces for meetings, workshops and events.

Designed to suit community groups, businesses and service providers, the rooms feature modern technology, flexible layouts and adaptable furnishings. These welcoming spaces support collaboration, learning and connection, enabling the community to come together, share ideas and deliver programs that respond to local needs.

The ground floor community rooms include access to a communal kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, dishwasher, hot/chilled water unit, wheelchair-accessible sink and hand-washing facilities.

You can also enjoy casual gatherings in the courtyard, that is located between Buildings 1 and 2. The ambient courtyard offers outdoor seating surrounded by lush landscaping.
