Maroondah Federation Estate - Cultural Centre
The Cultural Centre is located in the restored heritage buildings of the former Primary School and incorporates two professional gallery spaces, artist studios and an outdoor performance space located in the courtyard.

The Maroondah Art Gallery at the Federation provides the residents of outer east Melbourne with an accessible venue to view shows and exhibitions that may not otherwise venture out of the central business and arts areas.

The studios have been designed so that visitors may view resident artists at work. This will provide regular visitors with the opportunity to participate in the development of the artists' work from conception through to completion, and may encourage and inspire visitors to develop their own creative ideas and skills.The gallery and outdoor performance area have the potential to showcase and display works from local and national artists and performers.

The Lifestyle Centre is located in the purpose-built addition and contains six large community rooms, kitchen and administration space.
The Lifestyle Centre is the new home of a number of community groups which have previously struggled for space. These groups include the Eastern Volunteer Resource Centre, the Ringwood Heritage Senior's Club, multi-cultural clubs, regional choral groups, film clubs and many more.
