Hume residents are set to welcome a further two community centres due to the continued success of the Mickleham north site.
Community centre leader Simone Evans said a Mickleham south and Kalkallo community centre will be opening up within the next two months.
“On our [Mickleham north] open day we had 1700 people come through the doors in the first three hours and that showed the growth we have in this area,” she said.
“This facility at Mickleham north has actually built up since we’ve opened, last month we tracked 13,000 through the doors.
“So we’ve actually grown month by month quite steadily which is exciting.”
The centre hosts a whole range of different events and programs.
“We have immunisation for the community, we have facilities for hire for functions and weddings, we have a wedding here tonight actually, we have engagements,” Ms Evans said.
“We’ve got Eid celebrations, Diwali celebrations, but we also deliver dancing programs, taekwondo, art classes.
“There’s a massive range of activities that you can enjoy within our community centres.
“I think the best part is that we’re always open to new and fresh ideas.
“If the community are looking to do something we are always welcome for them to come and give us that feedback, we will work with them to try and deliver a program within the facilities.”
The Mickleham north centre is hosting an exciting movie night, with back to back screenings of the latest Mario movie showing in early September.
