Second Notice
A CEDoW working group is exploring the potential for CEDoW to utilise the former Our Lady of Lourdes Church at Wombarra.
Based on advice from the CEDoW Properties Team, upgrades would be required to make the building suitable for CEDoW use.
These include, but are not limited to, electrical rewiring, installing an IT system and air conditioning or fans, kitchen and toilet upgrades, and enhancements for accessibility and general safety.
It is estimated that the building could accommodate up to 60 people in a "round table" style setup and up to 100 people in a theatre-style arrangement.
You can view some recent photos of the building and site here.
The Catholic Life, Education & Mission (CLEM) Team has identified potential in the building for several of its regular events and PLs. Additionally, as mission formation, youth leadership, and creative ministry offerings expand for students and staff, the space's potential for growth will continue to unfold.
Other CEO service areas have also shown interest in the site, especially since the previously used PL space in the Marian Centre is no longer available.
We are now seeking feedback on whether schools would find this venue useful, particularly for staff and student formation days.
Here are some location and travel time estimates from Google Maps:
- Nowra to Wombarra: 97km, 1hr 33min
- Bowral to Wombarra: 81km, 1hr 16min
- Macarthur to Wombarra: 45km, 49min
- Wollongong to Wombarra: 20km, 33min
There is some on-street parking available near the building, though overflow parking may need to be across the highway, near the beach (5-10 minute walk). Student groups could be dropped by bus near the entrance. The site is a 4 minute walk from Wombarra train station.
Optional action: Please review your school's use of external facilities and consider whether an upgraded Wombarra site could serve as a valuable resource. If you wish to provide feedback, could the appropriate person(s) from your school please complete this form by 11 April 2025.
