Friday, 14 August 2009
Construction work has commenced on a new youth Recreation
Facility in Woden Valley, ACT, as part of the Community
Infrastructure component of the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus
Plan.
The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development
and Local Government, the Hon Anthony Albanese, and ACT Chief
Minister Jon Stanhope recently inspected the project at Eddison
Park.
Funding of $1.4 million has been provided under the Economic
Stimulus Plan for the recreation facility, with the remaining
$400,000 funded by the ACT Government.
The recreation facility concept was developed in consultation
with the local community, and will provide a dedicated place in
Woden Valley for young people and their families.
The new recreation facility will feature a skate park and events
stage, as well as new play equipment and a half basketball court.
The project is expected to be completed later this year.
