Meeniyan Community Hub
The Meeniyan Community Hub is a pleasant space for community groups to gather, hold meetings, learn new skills and celebrate local activities.
Community Hub History
In the past, number 95 Whitelaw Street Meeniyan was an Infant Welfare Centre that provided important support for expectant and new mothers and their babies. The centre building has also been used by local RSL and other community groups. It is now the site of a new Community Hub that has been funded through the South Gippsland Council’s Capital Works Program and the Australian Government’s
The new facility provides a pleasant public open space with a meeting / activity space that includes a kitchenette and an open and informal garden and seating area. Public toilets are nearby. The Hub connects seamlessly with the Meeniyan Hall next door. It features a sustainable design including the use of an environmentally friendly material called Hempcrete.
Public Realm Lab, the architects who designed the Meeniyan Community Hub won gold last year at the 2025 ArchiTeam Awards. The judges described the project as thoughtful, taking into consideration the location while still committing to sustainability and delivering lasting civic value.
Community Hub Asset Management
The Hub is managed by a voluntary committee, the Meeniyan Hub Asset Management Committee. We encourage community groups to take advantage of the new facility and enjoy meeting in these comfortable and central surroundings.
