Bulimba Community Centre

Bulimba Community Centre is a long-running community hub in Bulimba, Brisbane, bringing people together to learn, socialise, volunteer and take part in local activities. The centre began as a seniors centre in 1985 and has grown into a broader, inclusive organisation for people of all ages and backgrounds. It is a self-funded registered charity supported through memberships, donations, fundraising, partnerships, grants, events and venue hire.

The centre offers versatile spaces for hire, with options suited to celebrations, private functions, coworking, club meetups, business events and larger gatherings. The website also highlights facilities including a stage, kitchen and air conditioning, while visitor feedback describes the venue as clean, well organised and convenient to the Bulimba hub. Its spaces are used by community groups, classroom programs and music groups, with one reviewer particularly praising the acoustics.

There is a wide range of regular community activity beyond the hire spaces. The Young at Heart program provides social events, exercise classes and gatherings for people aged 60 and over. The Village Playgroup welcomes parents, carers and children aged four and under, while the monthly Bulimba Community Market features more than 65 stalls from local and regional producers, artisans, bakers, makers and growers. A community garden, Beehive Community Library, hygiene pantry and free local business directory add practical, ongoing resources for the neighbourhood.

The centre is also home to JPs in the Community, offering document witnessing and certification, as well as the Bulimba Buzz Podcast and Studio, where people can create content or share their stories using the podcasting facilities. With more than 110 volunteers and a stated focus on connection, support and belonging, it suits families, older residents, community groups, local businesses and individuals looking for a welcoming way to participate.
