The Gabba Ward office is located at the corner of Annerley Rd and Crown St in Woolloongabba, on the territory of the Jagera, Yugara, Yugarapul, and Turrbal Peoples. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded, and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We strive to remain cognizant of this tension throughout all that we do.
We have a small but committed staff team on board in the Gabba Ward Office, and I'm pleased to say we are here to help.
Here are some of the ways we can work with you as an individual resident in the Gabba Ward:
- Assisting you with ongoing advocacy about any local council issue.
- Provide local referrals where we can't help with direct advocacy.
- Organise a meeting to discuss any local concerns you might have
- Collaborate and connect you with other residents to campaign on local issues.
- Provide free loaned equipment from our tool library.
Here are some of the other ways my office is here to help your local community group or project:
- Provide a limited supply of free printing.
- Give recommendations and advice on affordable local community venues.
- Help build connections with other residents or groups who share the same interests.
- Free loan our new marquees, heavy-duty barbecue, tables, chairs, PA systems, audio gear, and other event equipment out for your events.
- Assist you in applying for grants with a letter of support.
Equipment Lending Library
You can view our full lending library inventory here and complete our equipment request form here. Please also let our office know once you've completed the form via email. Requests that skip this step will not be processed.
Community Pantry
Due to demand, and in recognition of the impact rising cost of living is having on so many of our residents, we've started a community pantry in our office. Whether you're going through a tough time and need a little extra support, or you're in a position to give back to a neighbour, the pantry is here for you. Accessible Monday to Friday, 9am–4:30pm, during our regular office hours.
Computers 4 Learning Drop Off
Our office continues to be a drop off location for Computers 4 Learning, which refurbishes donated devices and gives them to people who are disadvantaged. Got an old laptop or computer gathering dust? Drop it in and we'll pass it on.
Baby Give Back Clothing Donation Drop Off
Baby Give Back is critically low on preloved clothing in sizes 3–5 (Boys and Girls). Since January, they have issued over 6,000 clothing boxes, more than the total distributed in 2024. Donations of clothes can be dropped at the Gabba Ward Office to help families in need.
Something else? Contact us if you have an idea about how we could support you, and we'll do our best to help!
We aim to build a culture of kindness, generosity, positivity, and transparency in the Gabba Ward. We focus on empowerment and capacity-building of the local community, so that they can take action on issues that matter to them, and so they are better able to help themselves and others in the future.
