EXCITEMENT is in the air, as the Haddon Community Learning Centre takes on new day-to-day administration.<\/p>\n

The volunteer committee of management was originally responsible for strategic planning and oversight of operations but will now take on a more hands-on role within the centre.<\/p>\n

Committee of management chair Bill Elder said the group has a range of improvements in plan for the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking to possibly knock down a wall or two and rearrange the smaller offices into spaces that are more useful for courses and meetings for larger groups,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in a really good, local position to make sure that the building is clean and in good operation. We\u2019re hoping that those improvements will come into fruition with us being there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the change in management, long-term tenants such as the Haddon kindergarten and Church of Christ are still in operation.<\/p>\n

All courses and classes are still available to the public, with hopes to introduce a nature studies course, to act as a precursor for higher education in natural resources management.<\/p>\n

Mr Elder said he encourages people to volunteer for the committee of management, as to help provide all sorts of activities for the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it\u2019s a course, social group, yoga or music, there\u2019s something going on here all the time,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a place where you can be involved and feel good, knowing that you\u2019re helping the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Golden Plains Shire council, the original managers of the centre, will retain ownership of the building.<\/p>\n
