Construction on two new state-of-the-art family centres in Victoria’s Truganina South East and Tarneit North will commence next week as part of larger community precinct and sporting masterplans for the growing suburbs.
The service will be located on Alcock Road next to Garrang Wilam Primary School, and will provide early education and care services, kindergarten, maternal and child health services and specialist support services for children.
Tarneit North Integrated Family Centre (interim name) will be located on Polly Parade in Tarneit, and will provide Kindergarten, Maternal and Child Health services and other allied services, and community spaces.
Tarneit is part of Wyndham City’s $26.4 million Tarneit North Community Precinct Master Plan implementation project.
Works on both centres are expected to be complete by January 2022.
City Design and Liveability Portfolio Holder, Josh Gilligan, said the centres will provide vital infrastructure for the growing suburbs.
“The new centres will enable residents to access all the services without having to travel, as well as generating new employment opportunities for locals.”
Wyndham City received a number of State Government grants for the two projects, including a $2.5 million Growing Suburbs Fund grant and a $2.5 million Building Blocks grant for stage one of the Tarneit North community precinct.
