The refurbishment and extension of the Brookside Community Pavilion is now complete.
The space on Federation Way in Caroline Springs has reopened with an increased capacity of 120 people and also features refurbished club rooms and a female friendly change rooms.
The upgrade was a joint funding effort of the state government ($850,000) and Melton council ($686,000).
Western Metropolitan Region MP Cesar Melhem said the space was necessary to meet increasing demand for sporting infrastructure.
“Caroline Springs is one of the fastest-growing areas of Melbourne. It’s important for local and state governments to continue to work together and provide facilities like these,” Mr Melhem said.
“This project has renewed the pavilion and I hope locals come and make the most of it!”
Melton council mayor Goran Kesic said he was excited to see the asset used by the community.
“With this new infrastructure in place, we now hope to see a greater uptake in memberships and participation in sports, increasing the activity of our local residents and having a positive impact on both mental and physical health,” he said.
I’m looking forward to continuing to work to deliver quality infrastructure that keeps pace with our city’s rapid population growth.”
