The state government has announced two major projects for Wyndham under its $2.7 billion Building Works package, as part of efforts to boost the economy and create jobs.
Werribee MP Tim Pallas last week said that the package included $2.57 million to improve the Werribee Court Specialist Family Violence waiting area.
The work, which will update both the ground and first-floor waiting areas, includes painting, new carpets and new seating.
Werribee Open Range Zoo will also benefit from a $2 million investment in the Werribee Recycled Water Expansion Project, in partnership with City West Water.
“In addition to boosting the future visitor economy, this investment will support the expansion of the zoo and improve the health of the Werribee River,” a statement from the state government said.
The Building Works package includes $1.18 billion in education infrastructure projects and half-a-billion dollars for public and community housing, to upgrade 23,000 dwellings and build 168 new homes across the state.
Another $328 million will go towards resurfacing and patching roads, plus other transport projects.
