Construction is set to begin on a new community and sporting facility in Wellard.
The Wellard West Community Facility will feature a large community hall with kitchen, kiosk, storage, changerooms and first aid rooms.
Mayor Peter Feasey said the building would also feature a veranda/spectator shaded area and externally accessible public toilets.
“We want to hear directly from our community about what types of sporting clubs and community groups local residents want to see at this new facility,” Mayor Feasey said.
“We encourage all residents to visit our Love My Kwinana engagement platform and complete the community survey to share their ideas and preferences for activities at the facility and oval,” he said.
Following community feedback, the City will open a formal Registration of Interest (ROI) process for sporting clubs and local community groups.
The $6.284 million project will be funded by developer contributions.
"It was a significant day for Kwinana as we broke ground in preparation for the new Wellard West Community Facility yesterday,” Mayor Feasey said.
“This project will support community wellbeing and local sporting clubs well into the future, and we want it shaped by the people who will use it."
