Fulham Community Centre

Built in 1971 as part of the Fulham Primary School, the building was the first open-plan classroom in our State.

Following the closure of the school in 1988, concerned members of the local community successfully negotiated with the South Australian Government and the City of West Torrens to retain the building for future development as a community centre. The City of West Torrens now owns and maintains the building and provides a grant to the independent volunteer Management Committee to be used towards employing a Co-ordinator.

Re-opened in 1992, the Centre offers an increasing variety of activities for the local community. The Centre was originally named Reedbeds Community Centre to commemorate the character of the local environment during settlement when reedbeds stretched along the coast to Port Adelaide. A large mural inside the Centre depicts this history. It now offers a comfortable and affordable venue for meetings, classes, exhibitions and any event involving and benefiting the local community.
