Carlton Community Centre (Kathleen Syme Centre) & Library

An opportunity is looming for the CoM to provide a facility for our precinct. Carlton’s first primary school on the corner of Cardigan and Faraday Sts will soon be available. Currently there are no library services in 3053 and the CRA is reduced to meeting wherever a free space is provided - above restaurants or in back rooms. It is a disgrace that the provision of community space s in Carlton has been sidelined by successive councils for a decade. We now have an opportunity to acquire the heritage listed Kathleen Syme Centre once the Royal Women's Hospital vacates.
