The South Hobart Community Centre at 42 Darcy St, South Hobart is operated by volunteers from the South Hobart Progress Association.
The recently renovated Centre has air-conditioning, two toilets (one with disabled access), a kitchen with stove (oven and hotplates), refrigerator and a Zip boiling water unit. It also has folding trestle tables and stackable chairs available for use.
There is level access to the Centre through the Darcy St playground and large sliding glass doors open widely to a covered outside area facing towards the playground.

The Centre was completely renovated with generous grants from both the Tasmanian Community Fund and The City of Hobart in 2020. The Association is most grateful for the support of these two institutions. We now has a magnificent Centre which caters to the needs of an ever-widening group of individuals and local groups.
