Construction has begun on the $18 million development of Polly Parade
Reserve in Tarneit.
The development of the reserve will be executed across two overlapping stages.
Stage one will include three natural turf soccer fields with
an overlaid cricket oval, cricket practice nets, six tennis courts, sports lighting, paths,
landscaping, drainage, irrigation, and fencing.
Stage two of the open space will involve the construction of the sports pavilion,
equipped with a social room, change rooms, storerooms, and a kiosk.
Stage one is expected to be completed by mid-2025 at which time stage
two will commence.
Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera said the Polly Parade development demonstrated council’s commitment to providing the community with sport and recreational facilities close to home.
“This is another step in providing our residents with the facilities they need and
Deserve,” Cr Barrera said.
Wyndham councillor Peter Maynard expressed enthusiasm
for the reserve, stating that the residents of Tarneit will benefit greatly from this new
active open space.
“I’m proud to see this project come to life, knowing the lasting benefits for health,
social bonds and community pride – this is space for everyone to enjoy,” he said.
The upgrade of Polly Parade Reserve is part of the $26.7 million Tarneit North Community Precinct Masterplan which includes the Bembit Bag-rook Community Centre that opened in
October 2022.
