Heighway House, Drummoyne
Notes:
This institution is included in the Scheme as part of the Uniting Church of Australia (ACT and NSW). Heighway House was located initially at 30 Alexandra Street, Drummoyne opened in 1960. The need for larger premises resulted in the sale of the Drummoyne property and the purchase of new premises at 15-17 Duffy Avenue, Thornleigh. In 1969, the Heighway House project was further extended to premises at 39 Carr Street, Coogee. The Heighway House Project facilities came under the control of the Uniting Church in New South Wales in 1977 at the time of the union between the Methodist, Congregational and some Presbyterian Churches.
