Joyce Wheatley Community Centre will be receiving upgrades and refurbishment worth over $190,000 through an initiative by Kiama Council and the NSW Government.

The upgrades announced by Council include a new kitchen, audio-visual system and a new accessible bathroom. Upon completion, the centre will provide sitting options for up to 120 people.

The Centre will be closed from the end of September until works are completed, which is expected by December. 

Kiama Council recently unveiled the new and improved park facilities at Hindmarsh Park, a project that was completed a month before schedule. 

This project is being funded by Kiama Council from their capital works budget and the NSW Government through a Creative Capital Minor Works and Equipment Grant.
