Official opening out West
TODAY (Friday) will see the long-awaited, official opening of West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House’s new location.
Five years after its establishment, the Neighbourhood House now has a new, permanent home in Pecten Avenue Park.
The Neighbourhood House has always aimed to bring people within the community together to meet, socialise and learn through a range of programs.
With a new purpose-built facility, council is looking forward to being able to welcome even more members of the community.
After a thorough examination of potential sites, Pecten Avenue Park in
West Warrnambool was chosen.
The site was preferred because of its location in the heart of West Warrnambool, while the existing playground will enhance the Neighbourhood House offering.
The ‘house’ is a place where people can become involved in community events, find out about other services and activities in the area, join a class or support group, or take up an activity for fun.
Construction of the new building was funded by Warrnambool City Council.
The West Warrnambool Neighbour-hood House programs are funded by the state government’s Department for Families, Fairness and Housing, and are operated by the Warrnambool City Council.
