Hoppers Crossing’s newest family centre has a new name.
Wyndham City has endorsed the name Hoppers Crossing Family Centre (formerly known as Mossfiel Integrated Family Centre) for the new facility, which is currently under construction and will replace the former Mossfiel Kindergarten and Hoppers Crossing Children’s Centre at Mossfiel Reserve.
The name will now go to Geographic Names Victoria for formal gazettal and registration.
The centre will welcome children and families for three and four-year-old kindergarten from term 1 2024, and will also offer consulting rooms for Maternal and Child Health or Allied Health services.
Wyndham City Deputy Mayor and City Design portfolio holder, Councillor Josh Gilligan, said the new Hoppers Crossing Family Centre would triple the capacity of kindergarten services previously delivered on-site.
“This important project will provide Hoppers Crossing families with early years services all under one roof,” Cr Gilligan said.
“Hoppers Crossing Family Centre is a simple name that reflects the location of the new facility and the services provided at this site, and I can’t wait to see the centre open its doors in early 2024.”
This project is being jointly funded by the Department of Education and Wyndham City, with the new building being delivered by the Victorian School Building Authority.
