Kirra Hill Community & Cultural Centre

This unique site was initially the home of the Coolangatta State School which was established in 1919. Considerable community action led to the Queensland Government handing the custodianship of this site over to Gold Coast City Council in 2008, to create a facility for community purposes.

The site stands on top of the Kirra Headland with spectacular views in all directions.
The site has already won an Urban Design Award due to the process involving multiple layers of government, strong community participation and the sensitive restoration of the building to create a multifunctional community facility.

Key elements of the facility include flexible meeting and activity spaces, internal and external arts spaces, small consulting rooms, a heritage display room, art gallery and external events space. Grant funding from Arts Queensland was used to contribute to the creation of the arts spaces within the site.

The site is fully accessible and has lift access to the first floor.
