The state government has allocated $90,000 towards an upgrade to the Turnberry Drive Reserve Playspace in Goonawarra.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull announced on April 2, that the project will share in $9 million funding from the latest round of the Growing Suburbs Fund.
The fund supports councils to upgrade and expand community facilities including play spaces, pavillions and health centres, with 14 successful projects across eight local government areas to benefit from the investment.
Mr Bull said it is essential that communities in growing areas have access to infrastructure that meets their needs.
“This investment will help bring our community together and provide facilities close to home- ensuring that people feel engaged and connected to where they live,” he said.
Suburbs Minister Sonya Kilkenny said the government is investing in growing suburbs to ensure they remain great places to call home, where communities can thrive.
“Whether it’s parks, sporting or health facilities, we’re delivering important infrastructure for communities in some of our fastest growing suburbs,” she said.
With the 2023-24 allocation, the fund has now supported 360 projects and created more than 11,340 jobs, the state government said.
