We’re making great progress on our $2.4 million Parks Asset Renewal Program, with three playground upgrades completed, two underway and work to begin in the coming months on four more.
New playgrounds and landscaping have been completed at Brougham Avenue Reserve in Wyndham Vale and Karobran Kindergarten and Wilmington Kindergarten in Hoppers Crossing.
Work is also underway on playground upgrades and associated works at Southampton Drive Park in Point Cook and Thames Boulevard Reserve in Werribee, with work on track for completion by the end of 2023.
Meanwhile, The Grange Kindergarten and The Grange Early Learning Centre playgrounds in Hoppers Crossing will get a spruce up over the summer school holidays, while playground upgrades at Werribee’s Thomas Chirnside Kindergarten and Little River Kindergarten are scheduled for the term 1 2024 school holidays.
Wyndham City’s Active City portfolio holder, Councillor Peter Maynard, said these exciting upgrades would make the nominated play spaces more accessible to the local community and encourage increased usage.
“The Parks Asset Renewal Program is an annual Wyndham City capital works program that transforms ageing parks and play spaces into new and improved spaces that better meet the community’s needs,” Cr Maynard said.
“Improvements are tailored for each play space depending on the condition of the equipment and requirements of the local community.”
“We know how important it is to have quality open spaces close to home, and for our kindergartens to have exciting and stimulating outdoor areas for children to play and learn – and these enhancements are delivering just that.”
