Maryborough Community House Inc. was established originally as Maryborough East Community House in 1982 to provide a facility that offered opportunities for local groups and individuals, particularly isolated women, to meet together and participate in a range of activities.
Maryborough Community House is a not-for-profit community-based organisation governed by a Committee of Management made up of local community members, service users and local groups.
Day to day Management is provided by a small group of part-time staff members with volunteers providing operational support. Maryborough Community House operates within a community development framework and aims to meet community needs through community building activities, providing services and education programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
