Community kitchen and garden
The community garden grows fresh produce for the CRC’s kitchen and makes fruit and vegetables available for a gold-coin contribution. The kitchen serves free meals, offering both food support and a place to meet others.
Garden improvements completed with local partners include equipment, secure storage, handmade furniture and native edible plants. Waroona Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation rangers contributed planting and artwork, bringing cultural learning into the shared space.
Support for older residents
The Staying in Place program helps older residents access support to remain at home. The CRC also offers social activities, information sessions and community events.
Its annual Christmas hamper initiative supports households across Waroona, Preston Beach and Lake Clifton. Contact the centre about assistance or contributing to the appeal.
Community car
The Waroona Community Car helps Shire residents attend medical and hospital appointments. The CRC coordinates bookings, supported by volunteer drivers.
The service operates on weekdays. Contact the CRC about availability, fares and any assistance needed when travelling.
Everyday services and visiting professionals
The centre provides computer and internet access, printing, copying, scanning, laminating, binding, digital skills support and room hire. It also hosts visiting health and community services.
Other assistance includes Services Australia access, TransWA information and bookings, résumé support and Justice of the Peace appointments.
