Exciting changes are coming to Little River, with work on a major upgrade at Possy Newland Reserve to commence next month.
Stage one works will deliver a new three-level play unit, climbing boulder, swings and carousel, a revamped BBQ area and new landscaping.
Meanwhile, planning is well underway for stage two, which will include an upgraded sports court and adjoining Youth Space with new outdoor furniture, where Wyndham City’s Youth Services team will engage young people through sport and recreation activities.
The Youth Space is being funded through the Victorian Government’s Tiny Towns Fund.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw, said this important upgrade would transform Possy Newland Reserve into a district-level playspace that would benefit both Little River and the entire Wyndham community.
“These works will significantly enhance the play space at Possy Newland Reserve, creating a fun and inclusive space for children of all ages, as well as new opportunities for families and community members to spend time outdoors,” Cr Shaw said.
“This is all about making sure our open spaces grow and evolve alongside the needs of our community, in line with Wyndham’s Play Space Strategy and Open Space Strategy.”
“I’d like to thank those Wyndham residents who took the time to provide their feedback on the plans during our community consultation process for this project – your invaluable feedback has helped shape the future of this reserve.”
Stage one works are expected to be complete in late 2025.
