The expansion of Point Cook’s Jamieson Way Community Centre and

Reserve is a step closer with Wyndham council awarding the construction contract for the project at a meeting on Tuesday night.

Melbcon Pty Ltd will build the $5 million first stage of the project, including a new kindergarten room, kitchen and meeting spaces, with construction set to begin before the end of the year.

Wyndham deputy mayor Josh Gilligan said these works would be delivered in line with the Jamieson Way Community Centre and Reserve Master Plan that council adopted in April 2022.

“This Wyndham city project will redevelop one of Wyndham’s longest running and

popular community centres and will create a fit-for-purpose facility to better meet the

needs of the growing Point Cook community,” Cr Gilligan said.

“This includes an additional kindergarten room that will increase capacity for local

three and four-year-old kindergarten children.”

Jamieson Way Kindergarten and Maternal and Child Health Services will continue to

operate on-site throughout construction, and Jamieson Way Community Centre Inc

will run limited services and activities at the centre in 2024, including the Food Relief

Program.

Stage two of the project, which includes construction of a compact sports venue

and outdoor sports courts, is subject to funding in line with council’s long-term financial

plan.
