· The Neighbourhood Centre is directly opposite the Target complex, set back a little, entrance off a little lane next to the old picture theatre on the highway just before Standish Street. On the other side of the Centre is a Caltex Service Station. Street parking, and parking at the rear entered from Standish Street or, behind Target across the road by going around the new roundabout too if it comes to that. Getting hold of the key is not going to be a problem.
