Dingley Village community hub
Mr TAK (Clarinda) (10:06): Congratulations to Kingston council on the Dingley Village community hub. Together with the Minister for Early Childhood, earlier this week I was delighted to announce a $2 million Building Blocks capacity-building grant for Dingley Village to increase kindergarten places. The project will provide three-year-old early childhood education and care rooms, a supported and community-operated playground, two 33-place kindergarten rooms and one 24-place occasional care room, maternal and child health, immunisation sessions and new parent groups, the Dingley neighbourhood centre, a reception area, administration offices, collaboration planning spaces and meeting rooms, and flexible community meeting spaces to facilitate the delivery of allied health and family support services. This is a fantastic result for the local communities, who have been advocating for this facility for a long time. The development will be co-located with the existing Kingston City Council library and is one of six centres to share in almost $10 million— (Time expired)
