Our Beginnings
Rosewall Neighbourhood Centre Inc. (trading as Rosewall Community Centre) is a not-for-profit Neighbourhood House that has operated at 36 Sharland Rd, Corio since July 1980.
The Centre was established by the (then) Shire of Corio (this was the local Government prior to amalgamation into the City of Greater Geelong), and was originally part of a hub that included Rosewall Primary School and Rosewall Kindergarten.
Rosewall Neighbourhood Centre became an incorporated association in 1989 and has since been managed by a Committee of Management, comprised of local volunteers.
