The second stage of works at Bridge Road Community Hub in Strathtulloh have been completed.
Melton council said the works helped transform the hub into a s a fully integrated and accessible recreation space where residents can gather.
Facilities at the new hub include an oval for football and cricket, netball court, cricket practice nets and lighting alongside various visitor and player amenities. A brand-new community pavilion provides a home base for local clubs and events.
Landscaping works include new tree plantings to provide shade and informal spaces for people to meet, relax, or enjoy a casual kick-about.
A new shared path network safely connects residents with the Bridge Road Community Hub, the Toolern Regional Park, and nearby neighbourhoods.
Council contributed over $11 million towards the project, along with $800,000 through the state government’s Growing Suburbs Fund and $250,000 from the Local Sport Infrastructure Fund.
Melton mayor Steve Abboushi said he was thrilled that stage two of the project had been completed.
“We have delivered a fully integrated community hub that links people – not just physically, through paths and facilities, but socially, through shared experiences and local pride,” he said.
“This long-term investment in our city’s future is one that reflects our commitment to building spaces where people of all ages and backgrounds can thrive.”
