The Riddells Creek Leisure Centre is set to receive a facelift following the announcement of $230,000 that will expand and modernise the space.
The funding, which comes via the state government’s Growing Suburb Fund, will go toward increasing the size of the centre’s main space.
The Riddells Creek Leisure Centre was first built in 1994 and is currently used for basketball, netball, and other recreational activities including dancing, martial arts and group fitness.
With more space, the council-run facility will seek to add a new kitchenette, additional storage space and a mounted ballet barre.
Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas said the expansion would assist the growing Riddells Creek community.
“We know the Macedon Ranges is a great place to live, and the Riddells Creek Leisure Centre
expansion will make it an even better one – this investment will be great for local families, children and everyone in our community,” she said.
The Macedon Ranges previously benefited from the Growing Suburbs Fund with a $3.2 million application toward the Macedon Ranges Regional Sports Precinct in 2021.
However progress on developing the precinct remains stalled as the project is yet to receive sufficient funding.
