Kariong Neighbourhood Centre is set to broaden its appeal with a State Government grant to provide repairs for the facility.
General Manager of the centre Sarah Webb said the $28,272 Community Building Partnership funding will be used to replace and repair fencing and decking, increase shaded areas and purchase a defibrillator for community use.
“Facility Improvements are planned to enhance and increase the opportunities for community use of the Centre by providing greater privacy and security for both centre users and residents in neighbouring properties,” Ms Webb said.
“We are looking forward to offering safer and more accessible facilities for families and community members hiring the Centre.”
“Our future improvement plans include a drop in space for community members to relax, grab a coffee, and meet up with friends.”
Member for Gosford, Liesl Tesch MP said the money will be used to improve security and access for community members at what is a much-loved Neighbourhood Centre.
“The Kariong Neighbourhood Centre is such a magnet for the surrounding suburbs and the hinterland, offering everything from playgroups for the young to Tai Chi for seniors and plenty in between,” Ms Tesch said.
In the latest round, the Gosford electorate has secured $450,000 in funding for a total of 22 infrastructure projects supported by the $41 million 2025 Community Building Partnership grants program.
