Lorne Community Connect

Lorne Community Connect, formerly Lorne Senior Citizens Centre

Lorne Community Connect took over the Lorne Citizens Centre, around 2020, as  the Lorne Senior Citizens building was being under-utilised. The Surf Coast Shire, as owners, agreed the building would become Lorne Community Connect and be used to encourage arts in Lorne, including exhibitions and an artist in residence program.

Lorne Senior Citizens Centre

Lorne Senior Citizens building was built on the old Gracedale Guesthouse site that was demolished in the 1960s. In the 1970s, the Winchelsea Shire bought the site and following grants of $254,667 from the Federal and State governments, it constructed the Lorne Senior Citizens Centre in the 1980s.
