Community Groups & Sporting Clubs

Tableland LETS has existed for over 30 years and now includes other areas in FNQ in its network, which is why it is often called FNQ Community Exchange. CES (Community Exchange System) is an online platform that allows us to record trades, as well as being an online directory to advertise the things we are offering to other users and to see what other users want.

Tableland Region Art Society Inc (‘TRAS’) is a diverse community art organisation. We are based in Atherton, and our members come from all over the beautiful Atherton Tablelands and beyond, ranging from beginners to experienced artists. We welcome all those with an interest in art to join us!

Atherton Performing Arts is housed in the iconic heritage-listed APA Theatre.

It was in 1981 that APA made its home in the old disused Council workshed in Silo Road Atherton. With the assistance of TRC and community grants, the group has since transformed this igloo, which was first a WWII Ammunitions Depot, then Maize Board and Council Workshops, into the quirky, well-equipped theatre it is today.

As well as having musical and play productions for the public, Atherton Performing Arts runs regular theatre activities. The APA Theatre is also available for hire for performances, presentations and workshops.

APA is always open to new ideas for community involvement and performance. If you have a suggestion, talk to the committee about it.

Tableland Garden Group Inc is a group of like-minded individuals who come together monthly to visit local gardens for fellowship, inspiration and help with gardening issues.

The QCWA Ravenshoe Branch is a vibrant community where Queensland women come together to connect, collaborate and create positive impacts. We offer a welcoming space for women of all backgrounds to share experiences, support each other, and drive meaningful change with our local community.

Atherton Men’ Shed

The Rotary Club of Atherton has been a community service club in the Tablelands since 1947.
