$16m Jameson Way upgrade complete

The Jameson Way Community Centre and Reserve expansion update is now complete and has extended the amount of public amenities available in Point Cook.

The $16.1 million project includes a new indoor multisport venue, netball pavilion with two courts, landscaping, a new playground, barbeque facilities, supporting amenities and a new car park.

This is in addition to the third kindergarten room, new multipurpose meeting spaces, upgraded staff facilities, new maternal and child health consulting rooms, new reception area and community kitchen delivered in 2025 as part of stage one works.

The community centre and reserve were officially opened in a ceremony on Thursday 14 February by Wyndham mayor Josh Gilligan and Development Victoria and Precincts Minister Harriet Shing.

Cr Gilligan said the project would unlock more opportunities for sport, recreation and active living for Point Cook and the whole community.

“The new indoor multisport venue and netball facilities will support grassroots sport and year- round participation, while the playground and landscaped spaces will give families more places to play, relax and enjoy the outdoors,” Cr Gilligan said.

“By expanding this precinct, we’re creating flexible spaces that can adapt to the community’s needs now and into the future.”

This expansion has been supported by a $2.6 million Growing Suburbs Fund grant and a $2.75 million Building Blocks grant from the state government.
