A $50 million fund for high growth suburbs set up by the state government late last year is already paying dividends for Mill Park families.
The Interface Growth Fund underwrites projects for 10 councils on Melbourne’s urban fringe, and has paid out $110,000 to Whittlesea council to give Grevillea Park a makeover.
The park now has new children’s play equipment, including three slides, a swing set, climbing equipment and two spring rockers. Mayor Stevan Kozmevski said he was thrilled the council was able to secure the state government grant to rebuild the popular playground.
Two other playgrounds were also funded; McMillan Run Park in South Morang received $110,000 as well as $95,000 from council, and Lalor’s Casey Drive Park received $80,000 from the council and $40,000 from the fund.
