North Shepparton Community Hub works nears completion
News article released on Thursday 11 March 2010
Construction of the North Shepparton Community Hub is expected to be finished by late April, with the officially opening to be held in June 2010.
The hub, located in Parkside Drive, will serve as a one-stop shop for the community to access a wide range of services from a central location.
It will be the new home of the North Shepparton Community Learning Centre, maternal and child health services, a training community café, meeting rooms and additional locally-based services that will benefit the community.
Greater Shepparton City Council Community Development Manager Peter Bourke said the Hub represents the realisation of a lot of hard work from Council, service providers and residents.
"I'm sure the community of north Shepparton will be very excited to see the Hub completed and open to service their local community," Mr Bourke said.
"Construction began in May 2009, with completion expected in early 2010, and with only a few small delays we are now close to finalising the project.
"We will be officially opening the centre in June to give community groups time to settle into their new surrounds.
"All members of the community are invited to attend the opening."
The construction of the North Shepparton Community Hub has been managed by Council and works completed by Moretto Building.
The design of the hub has incorporated three portable buildings donated after the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games.
The $3 million Hub was made possible thanks to funding by the Australian Government, Victorian Government and Greater Shepparton City Council. Greater Shepparton City Council is contributing $1 million towards the project.
Greater Shepparton City Council, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Regional Development Victoria, Department of Human Services, Department of Planning and Community Development and VicUrban provided financial support to build the new hub.
