Hire a Space

Community Centre

As a not-for-profit Community Centre, we are able to hire out our rooms below commercial rates. We rely on those hiring our space to treat it with respect and care, so that we can continue to offer it at affordable prices. This also means we have limited resources and administration hours to manage bookings and require more co-operation from our guests; our office hours are 10am -2pm, Tuesday – Thursday. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!  

Please note that when you hire a space, you are hiring that room only, not the whole complex. This means there may be other people using the Community Centre at the same time, and some noise transference may occur from the alley or other rooms. If your event is sound-sensitive, please discuss this with us prior to confirming your booking. 

Please note, our rooms are available to book in 4-hour time slots to increase room availability. If your booking exceeds 4 hours you will be invoiced for 8 hours.

Church of All Nations

We rely on those hiring our space to treat it with respect and care, so that we can continue to offer it below commercial rates to our community. We have limited resources and administration hours to manage bookings and sometimes require patience and cooperation from our guests; our office hours are 10am -2pm, Tuesday – Thursday. Your understanding is greatly appreciated!   

We offer on-site cleaning & set-up services. If you are unable to return the room to the condition in which it was hired, you will be charged this fee. 

When you hire the Church of All Nations, you are hiring the Church only, not the adjacent spaces in the Community Centre. This means there may be other people using the complex at the same time, and while our brickwork functions as effective sound insulation, some noise transference from the alley may occur. If your event is sound-sensitive, please discuss this with the management team beforehand. 

Please note: the balcony is not available for use due to OH&S limitations.

The Church is available in 4-hour blocks to increase availability for other groups. If your booking exceeds 4 hours you will be invoiced for 8 hours.

  • Free-standing chairs and pews
