Transformed Community Space In Kilmore

The Kilmore Senior Citizens Centre has been transformed into a modern, accessible space for the community after significant upgrade works.

The project was made possible through $830,000 in funding from the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, with an additional $70,000 from Mitchell Shire Council.

The upgrade features a complete reconfiguration of the internal layout, making it a truly multi-purpose facility.

Key improvements include new male, female, and accessible toilet facilities, an expanded and upgraded kitchen, and two additional multi-purpose offices/storage rooms.

The project also involved the creation of a new entrance ramp and foyer to facilitate easier access to both the main hall and office spaces.

The new accessible parking spaces and improved driveway access further add to the centre’s usability, ensuring that the upgraded facilities are welcoming and accessible for all members of the community.

Mitchell Shire Council CEO Brett Luxford expressed the Council’s pride in delivering the project and its importance to the community.

“This project was a high priority for our community, and we are thrilled to see it come to fruition,” he said.

“The facility now offers even greater opportunities for the community to come together, connect, and participate in a wide range of activities and events.

“These upgrades will enhance the centre’s functionality and ensure it continues to serve our growing population.

“We’re extremely grateful for the continued investment from the Victorian Government in our community.

“The Growing Suburbs Fund has been instrumental in supporting community infrastructure in growth councils, and continued investment from the State Government is essential.

“This funding has made projects like these possible; without it, it would be difficult to deliver them for the community.”
