Wyndham City has announced plans to construct a new community centre in Werribee’s Riverwalk Estate.
The Riverwalk Community Centre (interim name) will feature a kindergarten and open space, providing families and the broader community with much-needed facilities close to home.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw said the new community centre was wonderful news for residents in the Riverwalk Estate.
“This new community centre will provide families with the facilities and services they need, and substantially improve the liveability of the area,” Cr Shaw said.
“Council considered this was the best, most cost-effective use of the land. The planned facilities will also integrate with the future Riverwalk Town Centre.”
Designs for the new community centre are expected to begin this year, with construction in 2027 and the centre expected to be operational in 2028.
Plans for the site include the demolition of the former Melbourne Water Discovery Centre building, with expert analysis deeming the building in poor condition, unsafe and not compliant with current building codes.
In the coming months, the community will be consulted on updates to the existing Riverwalk Estate Development Plan.
