The newly refurbished Hoppers Crossing Family Centre is now open.

Wyndham council has announced that the facility, formerly known as Mossfiel Integrated Family Centre, is now operational with kindergarten classes having returned on January 31 and maternal and child health services on February 5.

Geographic Names Victoria has also formally registered and gazetted the name

‘Hoppers Crossing Family Centre’.

Wyndham deputy mayor Josh Gilligan, said the formal gazettal of the name is an important milestone.

“I’m thrilled with the gazettal of the name Hoppers Crossing Family Centre, as well

as the centre now being operational – this will allow residents to make full use of the

services provided,” Cr Gilligan said.

The new centre replaces two aging early years centres at the site and increases the

number of kindergarten places available to the community to support the Victorian

Government’s three- and f our year old kindergarten reforms.

This project received $3 million in funding through the Victorian Government’s

Building Blocks Capacity Grant Stream and was delivered by the Victorian School

Building Authority.

Wyndham council made an additional financial contribution to the project.
