Colin Moore was a member of the Rotary Club of Balcatta for over thirty years, holding various positions within the club. He was also a member of the North Suburban Historical Society, a member of the Gwelup Progress Association, and a member of both the City’s Natural Environment Committee and Heritage Advisory Committee.
In 2004 a submission was made to the Corporate and Community Services Committee regarding the renaming of Gwelup Cottage to recognise Colin Moore's contribution:
Colin Moore has made a significant contribution to the operations of Gwelup Cottage. He was the driving force behind the involvement of the Rotary Club of Balcatta in preventing the demolition of the building and arranging for the financial contribution in 1990 to renovate and extend the facility. This led to the Rotary Club of Balcatta being granted a Management Licence for the building. Gwelup Cottage is used extensively by local groups and associations.
The cottage was renamed the Colin Moore Community Resource Centre later in 2004.
