A new community recreation hub on Bridge Road in Strathtulloh is one step closer with stage two of the project now underway.
The aim of the Bridge Road Community Hub, which is expected to be completed by late next year, is to create better access for residents to play sports like AFL, cricket, and netball.
Facilities will include an oval, netball court, cricket practice nets and lighting as well as supporting amenities.
On Wednesday September 3, Melton mayor Kathy Majdlik was joined by Melton MP Steve McGhie for an inspection of the site.
Ms Majdlik said the project would make a “big difference” for the health and wellbeing of the community.
“Community sport is important, and this will become a recreational hub for residents to play sport with their friends, maintain active lifestyles, and build important connections,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to seeing local families and visitors alike enjoying themselves and making full use of the Bridge Road Community Hub when the work is finished.’’
The project will also complete the shared path network through the precinct and connect with Toolern Regional Park.
It was jointly funded by Melton council and the state government through the Community Support Fund and the Growing Suburbs Fund respectively.
