About [Edit]
The Addison Road Centre (ARC) is Australia's largest community centre. The full name of the Centre tells our story - the Addison Road Centre for Arts, Culture, Community and Environment. We have more than 200,000 visitors a year, the Centre is a popular place. 
Originally
barracks for the Army, the Centre has become Australia’s first, largest
and longest-surviving community centre. Today the ARC encompasses an
extraordinary range of activities in the arts, culture, community and
environmental fields.
Since 1976, the ARC has been able to develop a level of economic sustainability sufficient to provide accessible and affordable accommodation to community not-for-profit organisations. In 2003, the ARC entered a 50-year lease with the NSW State Government.
A Board of directors elected from the membership as well as local citizens and one local council representative oversees the management of the Centre.
The Addison Road Centre for Arts Culture Community and Environment Ltd (the "ARC") is a not for profit company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated in 1976. It is endorsed as tax exempt by the Australian Taxation Office.
ARC provides support to its member organisations through general maintenance services, maintenance of grounds, caretaking, and promotion of the centre to the community (like this website). It also provides membersass. members and others with a regular newsletter to keep them abreast of local news.
The ARC is responsible for:
- a large hall that is built with the assistance of a Commonwealth Government bi-centennial grant, and which is available for community hire;
- smaller halls that are for casual hire;
- open grounds and
- 50 year lease for the site from the NSW Government granted in 2003.
The ARC leases space to not-for-profit groups and organisations.
