City of Stirling | Living together

The City of Stirling is a large and vibrant community, with something happening every day. Living Together is focused on sharing the services and programs available in your neighbourhood. From seniors programs and volunteering, to library activities, access and inclusion initiatives, grants, and family services.

Come explore the stories woven into Mirrabooka Town Square!

Men's Shed allows members of the communiy to take part in woodwork projects, socialise with others and raise awareness of health issues in a safe, friendly environment.

Members craft various items from recycled or donated timber, using woodworking machines, power and hand tools. Funds raised through the sale of these items are invested back into the Shed to ensure that the facility remains a vibrant and valuable space for its members.

Autumn, Pensioner, Retirees and Senior Citizen’s Clubs operate from most of the City’s community centres. They provide a meeting place for our older people who wish to participate in social, educational and recreational activities (various membership and activity fees may apply).

Club activities can include concerts, cards, dancing, indoor bowls, bus trips and other great activities!

The City's art and history collections have a new home

Over the past year a new and upgraded online database that houses both the Art and Local History Collections has been developed. This new collection management system and website will allow anyone to access elements of these Collections at the click of a button.

The City of Stirling’s Visual Art Collection incorporates 260 artworks that span the mediums of painting, works on paper, sculpture, textile, ceramics, photography and digital art, with an emphasis on contemporary Western Australian artists and arts practice, and includes work by First Nations artists. The collection is displayed and rotated throughout the City’s civic, administration and community buildings.

The Public Art Collection consists of over 82 permanent sculptures, integrated artworks, murals, play-friendly pieces and functional artworks that contribute to the City’s public spaces by expressing local stories, enhancing neighbourhoods, public amenities and community connections to place.

Playgroups and toy libraries

Playgroups are for children aged 0 – 5 with their parents, caregivers or extended family members. They offer a space for socialisation through play. Playgroup WA supports and advocates for playgroups in Western Australia. Their aim is for playgroups to be inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Toy libraries allow you to borrow from a vast range of toys that have been designed to support your child’s skill development and imagination. They have a range of benefits, including:
- Provide quality educational items for loan
- Are inexpensive (usually an annual subscription is charged)
- Principally cater for younger children
- Have a range of items covering all stages of growth and development
- Provide an opportunity to meet other caregivers to share concerns, interact with others and make new friends
- Help parents and carers learn about the ages and stages of child development
- Usually open on set days and hours.
