Welcome to our Centre!

Our building was opened in 1901. It was the site of the Central Illawarra Municipal Council Chambers until the formation of the City of Greater Wollongong in 1947, the building is owned by the Wollongong City Council.


It is a two-storey brick building with a parapet and a single-storey brick section with a corrugated metal roof. The City of Wollongong Heritage Study Data Sheets: Volume 3/5 (1991) assigns the building local historical significance.

The building started its life as the local Cinema Picture Theatre and is a wonderful example of this style of early architecture, many locals have told us stories, with fond memories of the back row of seats at the Saturday flicks. The right side of the building [now the Library] was the original Wollongong Council Chambers.

The Unanderra Community Centre is a local community [committee] run organisation. The steering committee is UFARA [ Unanderra & Figtree Area Residents Association ].

A Community Development Worker is employed by the centre to co-ordinate activities and a Youth Worker co-ordinates the Youth Project. Both are helped by volunteers.

The community can hire our Halls for such activities as Local Groups, Meetings and 21st Parties/weddings.


We have available:
¤ A Small Hall [12.1 metres x 5.8 metres, Seating 70],
¤ Large Hall [15.3 metres x 8.65 metres, Seating 100] and
¤ a Computer room [six computers + Tutors computer, All boot XP and WIN7, Office 2010, Fast Broadband ,large Whiteboard, also connections for three laptops].


The centre provides a variety of activities and services to the residents of the surrounding suburbs of Unanderra, Figtree, Mount Kembla, Coachwood Park, Cordeaux Heights and Farmborough Heights.
