Greater Shepparton City Council contractors are working on the new Katandra West Community Centre with building works progressing well and footings, slab and steel frame erected.
The new building will cost $1.4 million, with the State Government’s Regional Development Victoria fund contributing $500,000, Greater Shepparton City Council contributing $800,000 and Katandra West Community Facilities Committee of Management fundraising $100,000 towards the project.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor Dinny Adem said “it’s great to hear the new Community Centre is progressing well. I am sure all the local residents are looking forward to its completion by August this year”.
“Once the new Centre is completed it will benefit a number of residents and user groups including Katandra Kats Football and Netball Club, local cricket and tennis clubs, the Country Women’s Association, the CFA, Girl Guides and Katandra West Primary School,” said Cr Adem.
The new Katandra West Community Centre will include a community meeting room, commercial kitchen, bar, function room, umpire change rooms, female change rooms and toilets.
The Katandra West community are working on fundraising efforts for a number of items for the new Centre. These include, but are not limited to a security system, commercial kitchen equipment, and new furniture for functions. So if you know of any local businesses or community members that would like to assist with the Katandra West Community Centre please contact David Whelan on 0428 340 285.
