Families will have more support with a new community centre opening in Wollert.
The Ganbu Gulinj Community Centre, which means “One Mob” in Wurundjeri language, will provide much-needed services to this booming suburb and surrounding neighbourhoods.
The Macedon Parade centre includes a modern three-room kindergarten with space for up to 99 kids, two fully-equipped maternal and child health suites and a community room.
The new community facility is part of Whittlesea council’s long-term plan to provide residents with local access to key infrastructure and services.
With 76 babies born into the City of Whittlesea every week, the council is boosting construction of community hubs like Ganbu Gulinj Community Centre to provide additional kindergarten places and maternal and child health services in the city’s fastest-growing suburbs.
Council’s maternal and child health service is free for families with children from birth to school age.
The Ganbu Gulinj kindergarten is now accepting four-year-old kindergarten enrolments for term one next year.
To enrol visit www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/kinder. For more information about the centre’s three-year-old kindergarten program contact Kids First at dearp@kidsfirstaustralia.org.au.
