Foster War Memorial Arts Centre and Elderly Citizens

Foster War Memorial Arts Centre and Senior Citizens

Foster War Memorial Hall

The Foster War Memorial Arts Centre and Elderly Citizens is used by a number of groups for the benefit of the community. It is the home of the Foster Elderly Citizens  and Foster Arts Music and Drama Association (FAMDA). Both groups have a calendar of events for the community and their members.

The Centre is managed by a group of dedicated volunteers appointed by Council under Section 86 of the Local Law Act. The Commity meet on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Centre commencing at 7.30pm. The hall and facilities are available for hire.

The Hall was built in the 1960s after the previous wooden building (the Foster Mechanics Institute) burned down. More than fifty years on it serves as the gathering place for weddings, parties, concerts, theatrical performances, funerals, meetings and many different celebrations. It is usually hired over three hundred times a year.

Each Section 86 Committe has an Instrument of Delegation outlining their role and responsibilities.
