25.01.2022 New signage! Thank you to the City of Boroondara for installing our new signage - hopefully we will have less people assuming we are the library and not realising we are here - we love our new signs!

25.01.2022 We need your feedback. The Ashburton Community Centre (ACC) provides a range of classes, activities and events for the community. We are currently undertaking strategic planning for our future. Our current Strategic Plan, available here (https://ashburtoncc.org.au//Strategic-Plan-2018-2020-web.p), expires at the end of this year. We are keen to hear from the local community about the direction/s we should be taking. This is a very brief survey and should take 3-5 minutes. A...ll responses are confidential, and we do not ask any identifying questions. Responses are due by 31st October. Printed version: Printed copies of the survey are available outside our Centre at 160 High Street Ashburton next to our entry. You are welcome to drop completed surveys in our letterbox in the same location. Go to the online Community Feedback Survey: https://ashburtoncc.org.au/news/we-need-your-feedback/
