We’ve reached an exciting milestone in the Jamieson Way Community Centre and Reserve expansion, with Wyndham City awarding the construction contract for stage one works.
Work is expected to begin next month with construction of a third kindergarten room, expansion of the existing kindergarten outdoor play area and redevelopment of the Maternal and Child Health spaces.
This will be followed by the development of a new multipurpose community meeting space, consolidated staff office, community kitchen and redeveloped entrance and reception area.
Wyndham City’s Deputy Mayor and City Design portfolio holder, Councillor Josh Gilligan, said these works were being delivered in line with the Jamieson Way Community Centre and Reserve Master Plan that Council adopted in April 2022.
“This Wyndham City project will redevelop one of Wyndham’s longest running and popular community centres and will create a fit-for-purpose facility to better meet the needs of the growing Point Cook community,” Cr Gilligan said.
“This includes an additional kindergarten room that will increase capacity for local three and four-year-old kindergarten children.”
“This project has received a $2 million Growing Suburbs Fund grant, and a further $2.75 million in Building Blocks funding, and we thank the Victorian Government for their contribution.”
Jamieson Way Kindergarten and Maternal and Child Health Services will continue to operate on-site throughout construction, and Jamieson Way Community Centre Inc will run limited services and activities at the centre in 2024, including the Food Relief Program.
Stage two of the Master Plan, which includes construction of a compact sports venue and outdoor sports courts, is subject to funding in line with the Long-Term Financial Plan.
