About

Rushworth Community House is a place where everyone can go to make friends and meet neighbours, share information and learn new skills either for work or pleasure and help make their community a better place to live. We are situated at the top end of High Street just before the Shire Hall in an historic brick home which is owned by the Committee of Management.

History

The Community House commenced operation in 1988 in a church hall and purchased its own premises in 1991 through grants from the Department of Human Services and local organizations such as the Waranga News, community newspaper.

Expansion

The House's programs have now expanded into the Shire Shed in Horne Street where the mechanics and steel construction classes are held twice a week. Computer classes are held in the new and improved computer room. In 2001 a community garden was built on land just behind the House.

Funding

Rushworth Community House is funded by Department of Planning and Community Development for coordination and Adult Community Further Education for education programs. The Shire of Campaspe supplements these funds annually.
