Upgrade for Narara Community Centre

The Narara Community Centre has received almost $11,000 for its Community Support and Outreach Services (Community SOS) as part of the 2022 Community Building Partnership Program. The centre, which aims to promote inclusion and community interaction, will use the funds to fix draining and extend the outdoor paved area.

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the funding will allow the centre to be more practical and accessible.

“It is fantastic to see the work that Community SOS do, and I am glad this funding can allow them to create a functional space for the kids to do hands on activities in the fresh air,” she said.

“The upgrade will make the centre more accessible and practical, creating a community hub for the area.”

Community SOS CEO Vivian Muraahi said the funding will go a long way to ensuring a quality facility.

“The funding allows us to create a practical functional space for people that use the facility, especially the children,” she said.

“Our focus is on bringing the community together and providing a safe space.

“We can’t do that if we do not have adequate facilities.” potential to travel longer distances without refuelling and have faster refuelling times, which is an important factor in regional NSW.

Tesch said Community SOS was the first non-government community organisation on the Central Coast.

“I am glad to see that after more than 50 years they are still serving the community,” she said.

“Red Bus has already conducted a trial using a battery electric bus so this trial will allow for a direct comparison between how electric and hydrogen perform in the same location.”

The project is a partnership between the Department of Planning and Environment, local bus manufacturer ARCC, Central Coast operator Red Bus, and Origin Energy.

The new hydrogen bus will be in service from Monday, March 6, until the end of June.
