Toowoomba Community Sharon

History of the Building

Once the home of the Willowburn Soccer Club, it was built over the old Toowoomba Dump but the club had to be relocated when noxious gas began to leak from under the football fields. Air testing monitors were installed but are no longer used as the ground has settled.

After this the building was used for the Vietnam Veterans Club and after that was vacant for some time until the 2011 floods when the community centre in Water Street was destroyed and TRC offered this building.

Paul Myatt Community Centre

Originally operated jointly by Parent 2 Parent, Toowoomba Disability Service Providers Network and BigDog Support the centre provided a meeting place for a number of community groups including the Kings Lions Club, Toastmasters, Better Breathers, Toowoomba Disability Network and others.

Improvements have seen the building carpeted, airconditioned and painted and a wheelchair accessible toilet constructed, sun sails and astro-turf installed.
