Pole Depot Neighbourhood Centre

 

Pole Depot Community Centre
 

Pole Depot Community Centre is a non-profit organisation that receives funding from the State and Federal Governments, with use and maintenance of the building supplied by Hurstville City Council.

Pole Depot's Mission:

  • to identify the needs of the local community
  • to meet these needs by providing services
  • to encourage the development of neighbourhood networks.

Background
The name Pole Depot is the result of the building's original use - a storage warehouse for electricity poles. Pole Depot Community Centre has been in operation since 1975, when a grant from the Federal Government made is possible for Hurstville Council to purchase the building and reserve for use as a community project. In May 1978, the first Neighbourhood Community Worker was appointed through a grant from Department of Youth & Community Services and, since then, our services have been expanded to meet the needs of the community.

Who runs Pole Depot
Pole Depot Community Centre is run by an independent Management Committee made up of local residents and users, who are elected annually.  All persons who live or work in the municipalities of Hurstville and Kogarah, together with any users of the Centre, regardless of boundaries, shall be eligible to become members of the organisation, except paid staff.
