A new vision for Millennium House. Australian Multicultural Community Services (AMCS) has undergone a significant redevelopment project to upgrade the facilities of Millennium House to a multicultural community hub.
Plans for the centre, located at 296 Nicholson St, Seddon, VIC, 3011, were in response to a high need in Melbourne’s West for culturally inclusive community spaces and are guaranteed to provide a major impact on the community.
With these upgrades, AMCS provides:
People using the space annually
Community spaces available for public use
Days open per year
Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities represented
Square metres of community spaces
Capacity at any given time
We welcome financial support from Government, philanthropic organisations, businesses and community-minded individuals to assist in realising our vision for Millennium House. Please contact us for further information about how you can make a difference today.
Gandel Foundation is proud to support the upgrade and redevelopment of Millennium House. There is an ongoing need for safe, inclusive and culturally appropriate spaces in the Western suburbs that can help foster a stronger sense of community and social cohesion. We look forward to the many benefits this reimagined space will provide for the broader society.
On 20th November 2024, Minister Ingrid Stitt, MLC (Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs), and Katie Hall MP, (Member for Footscray), unveiled a plaque to commemorate the official opening in the architecturally designed Community Hall.
Over 130 friends and supporters of Australian Multicultural Community Services (AMCS) gathered to be part of a new chapter for Millennium House.
AMCS wish to thank the West Gate Tunnel Project for capturing highlights of this special milestone with the following video, and express our gratitude for their invaluable financial support.
The Millennium House Community Centre has been the home and focal point for the Polish community of Western Melbourne since the early 1960s. Many thousands have used its main hall and have fond memories of significant life events celebrated there.
As such, Millennium House remains a significant symbol of the migrant history of Melbourne’s Western Suburbs. It powerfully demonstrates what can be achieved with determination, community goodwill and post-war self-reliance. The Polish Association of Kingsville and Ladies Auxiliary (PAKLA) gifted this substantial community asset
to AMCS and asked that it be repurposed for the community’s future use.
AMCS is committed to delivering on this mission and honours it for the entire community’s benefit.
