A New Chapter Begins: TLC Is Moving in 2026

Published on Tuesday, 10 June 2025 at 11:47:49 AM

We’re turning the page to a new chapter in our story. After more than three wonderful decades at the Old Fremantle Prison Hospital, The Literature Centre will relocate to a new home inside the State Library of Western Australia — effective January 1, 2026.

This decision follows thoughtful consultation with our board, artists, educators, and supporters. It opens the door to exciting new possibilities:

  • A more central, accessible location for WA schools

  • Shared space and collaboration with Writing WA

  • Reduced operating costs and greater sustainability

  • Stronger visibility in WA’s cultural and literary landscape

While our address will change, our commitment remains the same: to champion WA’s diverse stories and nurture the next generation of storytellers.

We’re deeply grateful to the Fremantle community and will continue to deliver programs in the area — now with even greater impact across the state.

The story continues. And it’s only getting better.
