22.01.2022 Anglesea Community House is happy to announce that we are OPEN . Following an extended closure due to Covid-19 we are happy to be reopening our doors. Please be patient with us as there are restrictions and strict hygiene rules to follow on entry. Please note that we have limited numbers allowed at any one time so maybe give us a call first on 5263 2116 . Currently there will only be access to the house during office operating hours which are Monday to Friday 9.00am 2.3...0pm. No access will be allowed without a staff member being present and on duty. This is so we can ensure all cleaning and sanitising is done fully in between house users. The only entry and exit points will be by the entrance off the car park. Any person who feels unwell or has any cold or flu like symptoms must not enter the Anglesea Community House. We look forward to seeing many of your smiling faces soon See more
