WOOLLOOMOOLOO: The heritage-listed Juanita Nielson Centre is set to undergo a major makeover in 2014 in an effort to meet the changing demands of its residents and users. Owned and operated by the City of Sydney since 1984, the centre located on the corner of Dowling and Nicholson streets, provides a space for recreation for residents in the Woolloomooloo and Kings Cross areas.
With the smell of Laksa wafting through the air and the sight of Mee Rebus (literally translated as “boiled noodles”) still sizzling on the buffet tray, it seems almost understandable for one to mistake the locale of this generous feast. No, this is not a spread set in the more tropical climes of Malaysia or Thailand but one hosted right here at the Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport Hotel. The occasion? A National Day function held to mark Singapore’s 47th year of Independence.
