Multicultural Community Spaces Plan
The Multicultural Spaces Plan (PDF) help identify solutions to meet the varying needs of multicultural groups for spaces and facilities in Glenorchy that support cultural activities. The development of a Multicultural Hub in Moonah, launched in November 2017, is a significant outcome of the plan.

The Multicultural Hub at 65 Hopkins Street in Moonah is an innovative transitional space supporting the needs of newly arrived and established multicultural communities. Glenorchy City Council’s Multicultural Community Spaces Plan and service agreement with the Multicultural Council of Tasmania has created a great space for multicultural community events, gatherings, workshops and meetings. The Hub is also supported by the Tasmanian Government.
