Furlan Club

12/02/2026

It is with sadness that we farewell Frank Sator, a long-standing friend and supporter of the Furlan Club. Frank and Alberta were constant figures in our community activities and functions, recognised for his gracious demeanor and warm smile that will be sadly missed.

INCREDIBLE NEWS TO SHARE!

Council has VOTED YES!
Our beloved Furlan Club is now protected under a temporary Heritage Overlay.

You didn’t just support a cause.
You backed a Story, a Legacy & Home.

This decision gives our Club the chance to breathe again — to stand tall as a symbol of resilience, culture, and community unity. The walls built by our elders now have a shield — and we built it together.

We will be keeping this petition live — because now, the real work begins.
We’re taking our mission to Parliament.
This petition will grow over the coming months, reaching local, state, national, and international voices.

…this was never just about a vote to preserve the Furlan Club —
this is a message to all:
Community matters. History matters. Culture matters. People power matters.

And where there is darkness —
look closely.
There is always a light ready to shine brighter.
All we need is courage, faith, and good old belief.
Do the work — and anything is possible.

With love, with pride, and unwavering spirit —
Grazie. Andiamo avanti. The Italian-Australian, Furlan spirit lives on!
