Construction of the Ellenbrook Community Hub in Ellenbrook, Western Australia (WA), has commenced, backed by a A$3.5m ($2.26m) commitment from the WA Government.
The A$7.5m project also received A$2m from the national government and another A$2m through the Lotterywest grant.
Meanwhile, the City of Swan has contributed land and will provide $500,000 for landscaping after construction activities are completed.
WA Local Government Minister Hannah Beazley said: “The facilities, activities and services to be offered at the Ellenbrook Community Hub will deliver so many fantastic benefits to the local community – from a large hall for performances and events, to a workshop and activity spaces – it will have something for everyone.
“Our Cook Labor Government is proud to support this important community project in the heart of Ellenbrook.
“This project is not just about immediate benefits – it is about building a sustainable, positive and inclusive future for the Ellenbrook and Aveley communities.”
