The Waratah Room

Murwillumbah Community Centre is a welcoming and inclusive hub supporting local people, services, and programs. Our goal is to provide accessible and affordable spaces for not-for-profits, community groups, and government services to meet, collaborate, and deliver activities that benefit the community. The Lilly Pilly Room is one of our most versatile rooms. It’s perfect for smaller workshops, group programs, counselling sessions, planning meetings, training, and interviews. We do not hire to private businesses or commercial operators. Need a bigger space? The Lilly Pilly Room can be hired together with the adjoining Waratah Room to create one large room with double the capacity and more layout options.

The Waratah Room is a bright and spacious meeting room located inside the main community centre building. It has large windows that let in plenty of natural light and a simple, professional feel that works well for group events or seated sessions.

The room is well-ventilated and has both a ceiling fan and heating. It’s positioned close to reception & bathrooms.

When booked with the Lilly Pilly Room, a retractable dividing wall can be opened up to create a larger open-plan space perfect for events, forums or larger training sessions.

Included in the room hire is:

Wifi

Tables and chairs

Moveable whiteboard with markers

Ceiling fan and heater

Access to shared kitchen with tea/coffee facilities

Use of foyer/waiting area for guests

Staff support during business hours

Hire fees are charged hourly or by the day. A discounted rate is available for regular hirers. There is no bond required for standard bookings.

After-hours bookings may attract a surcharge or require key collection – this can be arranged with staff.

Please note: we only accept bookings from community groups, not-for-profits, or government services. Commercial bookings are not accepted. Proof of your own Public Liability Insurance is required at time of booking.

This room is used regularly by community groups and programs including training providers, parenting groups, arts programs and service meetings.
