We promote an inclusive and tolerant community through our three community hubs at Riverwood Community Centre, Punchbowl Community Centre and Thurlow Street Community hub.
We also organise a range of events each year, including the Spring Fair, and support a range of voluntary community groups to conduct activities within the community.
Riverwood Spring Fair
The Riverwood Spring Fair is the premier community event of the Riverwood Community. The event is organised by the Riverwood Community Centre in the grounds of the well maintained Salt Pan Creek Parklands.
The event attracts thousands of locals and visitors to Riverwood and showcases our welcoming, diverse and talented community. The Fair is an event for families, with a strong emphasis on children and young people.
A wide range of stalls, amusements for children and parents, and an exciting entertainment program is offered.
