Home / Community Space
The Community Space at Westfield Knox City Shopping Centre has been providing a venue for community groups to showcase what they do best to members of the public since 2014.
The aim of the Community Space is to celebrate community, volunteering and learning in the Knox community. There is no cost but you must book.
The space has relocated to Level 1 three doors down from Dusk in the old Suncorp bank building.
Westfield kindly donated the wonderful larger space to continue our work while renovations take place.
There are over 800 community groups in the City of Knox all contributing to the richness of community life in a variety of ways. They provide services such as, early childhood education and care, Aged care, Disability support, Animal welfare and education, conservation and the environment, Counselling and support, Education and learning (including libraries), Festivals and the arts, Legal services, Religious groups, Sport, leisure and recreation clubs, Youth services, Health services, Media (including community newspapers, magazines, radio and television) and much more.
All these organisations rely on volunteer support and membership to remain viable. Westfield Knox has provided the Community Space to contribute to the ability of these clubs and organizations to promote themselves to potential members and clients as well as recruit valuable volunteers.
It also allows us to highlight how the public can become more involved in their community.
The ACFE board and Knox City Council contributed towards the initial setup of the Community Space and now it is resourced by the five community houses in Knox: Coonara Community House, The Basin Community House, Mountain District Learning Centre, Community Learning Centre and Orana Neighbourhood House.
We are proud to have our efforts recognised at the Volunteering Victoria Awards in 2021 and 2023.
In the spirit of reconciliation Volunteer for Knox acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
