Forrest Street Reserve playspace in Sunbury is now complete, featuring a ninja course, a fitness space, a multi-purpose court and landscaping.

The upgrade was supported by a $260,000 injection through the state government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, to complement the $460,000 contribution by Hume council.

Sunbury MP Josh Bull, Macedon Ranges council mayor Carly Moore, councillors Jack Medcraft and Jarrod Bell, as well as council’s chief executive Sheena Frost visited the site on Friday, September 8.

“This is a great result for our growing community which is filled with young families looking for spaces for their children to have fun and build strong social connections,” Mr Bull said.

“Our government will continue to deliver projects that better support the needs of Victorians living in suburbs across the state.”

The latest census data shows the number of families living in Sunbury has almost doubled in the last five years.
