WALPOLE COMMUNITY CENTRE
Since the completion of the Collocation Project in March / April 2005 Walpole Telecentre has acted as Manager of the Community Centre under a License with the Shire of Manjimup.  This allow for ease of booking the now upgraded venue for social, business and other events.

Over the last four years the Telecentre Team has actively fund raised to complete the fit-out of the Centre the cost of which was not allowed for in the refurbishment project.

This has resulted in the "old Hall" now being a preferred venue to hire and is fully equipped to cater for 100 people in -

  • Padded chairs acquired through Adopt a Chair Project where each chair was paid for by donation by a specific person or business.  Acknowledgement of this generosity is in the form of individual plaques engraved with the donors' name attached to the back of each chair.  The cost of this gesture was borne by Mt Barker Community Bank Limited.
  • Tables and Trestles fund raised by a raffle whose prize was donated by the Walpole Ladies Craft Group as well as a number of sausage sizzles.
  • Crockery, Glassware and Cutlery fund raised by sausage sizzles.
  • Upgrading the kitchen to be "approved" for cooking for events in the Hall and Telecentre.
  • Acquisition of a bain marie, thanks to the generosity of Walpole Op Shop.
  • South West Community Development Funds acquired a motorised 16:9 screen enable the hall to be used as a cinema as well as for seminars.
  • Community Services Industry Award - Strengthening Communities 2008 winner came with prize money of $5,000 which was recently spent on acquiring a fully professional sound system.
  • Funding via Shire of Manjimup has allowed for an upgrade to the entrance of the Community Centre providing disabled access.  With an enormous input by the Walpole Work Camp utilising craftsmens' skills and local raw materials a most amazing front entrance has been achieved.  This will stand the test of time as a monument to the teams' dedication in working together towards a community goal.
