Property Hire Information

  • Intro

    The church property for Wollongong Wesley (the Church on the Mall) consists of much more than just the church itself. If you are exploring the possibilities for hiring a room or other space, the information on this page should help you.

    Within our complex there are halls and meeting rooms of varying sizes and capacities. This page outlines the spaces that are available for hire by the general public. Click or tap the button to the right to see a sketch of the floor plan (both upstairs and downstairs) of our main property, enabling you to identify each room or space (but note that the Community Care building is not shown on this sketch).

    Within certain terms and conditions (see next section), you can hire any of these five rooms or spaces for your special function – or perhaps as a regular meeting venue for your group. You can make a preliminary booking to hire a room or space by completing the Property Hire Application Form and sending it to the Church Office. The Church Office will endeavour to contact you within three working days to confirm the booking and to arrange payment.

  • The Blue Room

    The Blue Room

    Nobody can remember why this is called “The Blue Room” (it has never been painted blue!) but it is a small room ideally suited for one-on-one or one-with-a-couple counselling, or for a small meeting (say up to eight people) or, say, for a small gathering of people working on a craft or hobby (again, up to eight people).

    Please note that kitchen facilities are not usually attached to the hire of this room.

           The cost for hiring this space is:  $15.00 for a morning, an afternoon  or an evening.

    To apply to book this space, select “The Blue Room” on the  Property Hire Application Form.

    The Community Centre Building

    This building in Court Lane (behind the church) includes a commercial kitchen and has space for approximately 80 people. It is only available for hire during afternoons as it is in use every weekday morning and lunchtime.


    It has easy access for disabled people and there is a small amount of parking on the site. Further parking is available in adjacent commercial carparks.

    • No activity that is likely to cause offence to our neighbours or to the general public (such as excessively loud music) is permitted.
    • Use of a particular space by the congregation of Wesley Church must take precedence over any booking from outside the congregation (though we will try always to accommodate the needs of anyone with an existing booking).
