Tuggeranong Seniors Centre – Main Building
Waterview Lounge – TSC
Named because of the stunning views of the Lake Tuggeranong waterfront, the Waterview Lounge is an ideal space for discussion groups – Book Club, Reading Group and Learning Circle.
Housing the Centre’s television, the room is also used by Special Interest Groups, iPad and Android and occasionally by the now ‘in recession’ Film Group.
It is a warm and inviting space during the winter months with a well stocked book shelf for members use.
Parkview Hall – TSC
Again named because of the spectacular views of the Tuggeranong Town Park. Primarily used for all ‘physical’ activities: Zumba, Movement & Memory, Yoga, Active Exercises (Men & Women), Seated Yoga & Sit n Be Fit, Carpet Bowls, Line Dancing & Tai Chi.
The hall is also where social gatherings and Special Interest group meetings, Family History and Shutterbugs are held.
It is bathed with natural light and has a natural wooden floor.
Tuggeranong Seniors Centre – Janelle Burns Cottage
Janelle Burns Cottage Rooms
Beginning its life as a Childcare Centre, the building did a full circle in 2018 when the Club took over the vacated building. After some ‘age appropriate’ modifications, the building provided the extra room that the Club was beginning to need.
Although not quite as modern as the Seniors Centre, the building has a charm of its own especially with the round windows which are placed at ‘little people’s’ height. It was decided to keep the play equipment which has already had a workout from an Easter family friendly Club gathering.
The Cottage has become primarily the Games and Craft Hub. Bolivia, Bridge, Mahjong, Cribbage and 500 Cards play each week and the Knit n Knatter and Crafty Corner groups hold their meetings there as well.
The name ‘Gumnut Cottage’ was chosen for the ex-Childcare Centre from the variety of names suggested by Club members and was submitted by one of the Club’s founding members, Carlene Lockyer.
The building was renamed in 2025 in memory of Janelle Burns to acknowledge her extraordinary service to the club. She served over the years as Office Manager, Assistant Treasurer, Treasurer and Newsletter Guru. She was dedicated to the members, always ready to listen or just chat.
