Neighbourhood centre room hire & program booking
Neighbourhood centres: rooms and programs booked online. Less admin for small teams.
Room hire by phone, programs promoted on flyers and volunteers rostered by email. We build booking systems for neighbourhood centres.
Looking for community centre room booking software?
Neighbourhood centres host groups, programs and services. We build room hire, program bookings and rosters.
Wollopit builds member portals, booking systems, volunteer rosters and websites for neighbourhood centres around how your organisation actually runs. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so your people can focus on the community instead of the admin.

04Services
Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for neighbourhood centres.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for neighbourhood centres
Built around how your neighbourhood centre actually runs: room calendar, hire agreements and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for neighbourhood centres
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Neighbourhood centre system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.
Apps and portals for neighbourhood centres
Program bookings and volunteer rosters: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your neighbourhood centre: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things neighbourhood centres ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can community groups get discounted rates?
Yes. Rates can vary by hirer type.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your neighbourhood centre. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build. We know budgets are tight and we'll help you stage it.
Can volunteers use it without training?
Yes. We keep it simple enough that a new volunteer can pick it up on their phone in a few minutes.
Can it take donations, memberships and bookings?
Yes. Payments, renewals, receipts and bookings can all run online, with reports for your committee or board.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most neighbourhood centres we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
