The Panthers Group recently announced the Warami Community Centre as a permanent feature of the developing Western Sydney Conference Centre precinct.
The Warami (pronounced Wara-Me) Community Centre will serve as a hub for local organisations to operate from, with flexible spaces for a broad range of community programs.
Two local not-for-profit charities will permanently occupy half of the level, including WestCare. The local registered charity works with a network of local service providers to provide relief to those in need in the Penrith community.
WestCare Director, Andrew Paech, said: “This sensational facility will provide much-needed engagement space for many vital community groups and organisations in Western Sydney.
For WestCare, the space presents a significant opportunity to enhance our local benevolent activities across a wide range of community sectors and, we are honoured to be a part of it.”
Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres joined the Panthers Group to acknowledge the exciting precinct development: “WestCare is one of Penrith’s great community organisations who are constantly working to improve the lives of people in our region.”
The Panthers Group anticipate the other half of the community space as a flexible, multi-purpose venue that will enable Penrith Community groups and organisations that are helping challenged and vulnerable people to expand their programs and operate within a state-of-the-art building close to all local amenities.
The WSCC precinct is set to open later this year and will provide a world-class event destination for the Penrith region.
