Welcome to the public interface of the Norfolk Island Knowledge and Learning Centre, a forum for sharing knowledge about Norfolk Island, the people who inhabit it and those who govern it. Norfolk Island is an isolated territory in the South Pacific Ocean under the administration of Australia. The Centre has been formed for educational purposes and for showcasing the talents of the people of Norfolk Island. The foundations of the Centre are the distinctive culture and circumstances of the Norfolk Island people and their unique governance arrangements.
The KLC was established initially as a virtual hub. In October 2023 it secured 70/72 Taylors Rd as a physical headquarters. The building houses the Community House, which is a leisure, library and study centre that is available on a “drop-in” basis whenever open, or for bookings for knowledge-sharing events by community groups.
In February 2025, the federal Minister for Education announced funding to establish a tertiary study hub at 72 Taylors Road. See dedicated page for details. Thanks to Dr Madeleine Lawler and Regional Development Australia for facilitating this initiative.
The KLC is non-partisan, non-political, secular and independent of any faction in public affairs. Sometimes it hosts events by groups active in political affairs, but the KLC is then acting as a neutral venue host. It has no policy positions on contentious matters of public affairs.
