Blayney Shire Community Centre
Highlights
Overview
The Blayney Shire Community Centre is a modern entertainment, conference, and function venue, completed in 2012. With a spacious 500m² floor area, it accommodates up to 300 seated guests or 500 standing. The venue includes ample furniture, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, bar facilities, and audio-visual capabilities.
A flexible layout with movable panels allows for multiple event configurations, while stage amenities include a ramp, dressing rooms, and accessible toilet facilities. Off-street parking with dedicated accessible spaces ensures convenience for guests.
The Community Centre is a venue that is self-managed, meaning no staff are on-site to assist with setup, operation (e.g. catering bar staff), or pack-down. Users are responsible for arranging and managing their own event requirements.
