We are seeking feedback on naming the Bungendore Community Centre the Norah Starrs Community Centre. The Bungendore Community Centre has been transferred back to Council ownership from the NSW Government.

We are seeking the community's feedback on this name, which you can provide below.

Background

Bungendore Community Aid (BCA) starting using the Bungendore Community Centre shortly after it was built, and continued to do so until the venue was compulsory acquired by the NSW Government.

The BCA championed numerous initiatives, including a community library, employment service, Childhood Centre, tree planting, community transport, and emergency food and financial aid. It also secured a workspace for the community nurse, who later operated from the Bungendore Community Centre until it was compulsorily acquired.

Norah Starrs was a founding member of the BCA. The BCA fully support that the Community Centre be named after her in recognition of her extraordinary contribution to community work. Members of the BCA stated that “She was an amazing person who let nothing stand in her way when fighting for those less fortunate than her.”
