The Federal Labor Government is investing $15 million in the Cobblebank Community Services Hub, to improve access to health and community services in our local community.
This will deliver a new fit-for-purpose six-storey community and health services hub, accommodating education, employment, family violence prevention, health, rehabilitation and refugee provider services, supporting culturally and linguistically diverse, first nations and vulnerable residents of all ages.
Sam Rae MP and Melton City Council Mayor Steve Abboushi visited the site to discuss the project and its positive impact on the community.
The Thriving Suburbs Program is designed to build better cities and more liveable suburbs, targeting projects – such as sporting and cultural hubs, libraries and parks – that increase community cohesion, liveability and accessibility.
With no competitive, urban community infrastructure program under the former Government, we know Councils and local organisations have struggled to maintain and upgrade their essential local assets.
That’s why the Federal Labor Government established Thriving Suburbs – to help fund the backlog of community infrastructure projects putting a strain on local governments.
Projects receiving funding in greater Melbourne include new and revitalised multi-purpose community centres, an upgraded pier, a town centre revitalisation, upgraded inclusive sports facilities, and improvements to local play and green spaces.
Local, accessible community and health services are so vital to our growing suburbs, and this project is a great investment for our local community.
