St George Creative Art and Craft Centre

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to celebrate a fantastic local win from the long-standing community organisation, St George Creative Art and Craft Centre. I'm pleased to say that they have had their lease renewed at Pole Depot, Penshurst! I wrote to the General Manager of Georges River Council in December last year, asking that the groups lease agreement would be renewed, so they could continue to support our community in their current location. I am pleased to say that St George Creative Art and Craft Centre aren't going anywhere, anytime soon! They play an absolutely vital role in our local art sector and are an asset that many other communities do not have access to. Operating at a low cost to the community, St George Creative Art and Craft Centre offers a variety of programs and services, designed to provide local artists with a space to create, collaborate and stay connected. I'd like to thank Gilbert Sant, President of St George Creative Art and Craft Centre, and every member who has been a part of the Centre. I wish them every success in our community for many years to come.
