Description of Venue: The Bannockburn Cultural Centre has been operational since May 2012, and is built where the previous public hall was located. The modern building and colour scheme was designed to compliment the surrounding natural environment, while providing dedicated spaces for use by young people, community groups, businesses, residents, families and training providers.
This mission has been accomplished with an array of activities being held at the centre such as Tai Chi, Zumba, Scouts, Karate, dance classes, cheer leading classes, disability activities, elderly activities and job network provider services, plus a dedicated youth centre.
Casual hire of the various rooms and the hall are also available for private functions such as birthday parties, reunions, meetings, exhibitions, performances and concerts.
