THE upgraded Rokewood Community Hub and Pavilion was officially opened this week.

The $3.96 million upgrade was made possible by a $3.5 million grant from the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, a $442,000 contribution from Golden Plains Shire and $18,000 from the Rokewood Football and Netball Club.

The upgrades include refurbished meeting rooms, kitchenette, netball viewing deck, first aid room, a multi-purpose community hub, bar, canteen, oval viewing areas, new changerooms for players and umpires, and a new public toilet facility.

Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Owen Sharkey said the facility will be an asset at the heart of the local government area.

“It’s fantastic to mark this significant milestone and officially open the Rokewood Community Hub and Pavilion Upgrade to the community,” he said.

“This project has seen many years of planning, design and construction and is sure to be a valuable asset for Rokewood and surrounding communities.

“We look forward to seeing the many benefits of this impressive Hub which will support recreation, physical activity and social connection for a number of user groups.”

Member for Eureka Michaela Settle said she was proud to be part of the project.

“This wonderful new hub is a celebration of community spirit in Rokewood – a space where locals can come together, get active, and stay connected,” she said.

“From sporting clubs to social groups, this facility will support everyone to thrive.

“I’m so proud to be a part of this great new space for our community.”
