About Us
The Murilla Community Centre was established in 1992 with the goal to ensure all members of our community, being rural or remote, had access to information and assistance.
Current Centre Manager Cecily Brockhurst was employed in 1992 on a part time basis and has created a one stop shop for community members to access information and assistance in a time of need.
To this day the Murilla Community Centre is still growing and initiating new ways to support and develop the expanding community.
