Lawrie Emmins Reserve in Laverton North will receive a $4.2 million upgrade after Wyndham council awarded the construction contract for a gateway and youth precinct on the site.
Work will begin in early 2024 and will deliver a skate park, sports courts, open lawn
for events, BBQ and picnic facilities, shade and seating, a toilet block, car parking,
landscaping and other amenities.
This project includes a $1.5 million Growing Suburbs Fund grant from the Victorian
Government.
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard, said the project would transform an unused part of the reserve into a sporting and recreational hub.
“Once complete, this gateway and youth precinct will be a great space for our
young people and the broader community – particularly in Williams Landing,
Laverton North and Truganina – to engage in sport and have fun,” Cr Maynard said.
“It will also serve as the gateway to the remainder of the reserve, which includes the
recently redeveloped motocross track.”
