Central Park Community Centre in Hoppers Crossing is under new management.
Following a tender process, The Wyndham Community and Education Centre Inc (Wyndham CEC) were appointed by Wyndham council to manage the centre and took over on August 1.
Services and programs are set to begin at the centre next month, while Central Park will also act as a hub for the Wyndham Learning Festival.
Wyndham CEC is a well known education and community support provider in Wyndham and mayor, Susdan McIntyre, said their appointment was the latest evolution in a longstanding relationship with council.
“Wyndham CEC has a demonstrated history of supporting new migrants, developing education programs and employment opportunities for our residents,” Cr McIntyre said.
“They are an esteemed pillar of support in our community and are an ideal candidate to bring Central Park Community Centre to life.”
In addition to their existing service offerings, Wyndham CEC will create a micro-business and makers hub to support women to develop small
businesses.
Existing community groups using the centre will be allowed to remain and will be supported by council to develop relationships with the new management.
Originally built in 1996, Central Park Community Centre underwent extensive renovations in 2019.
