Minister for Regional Development Jaala Pulford today announced a $500,000 Regional Jobs and Infrastructure grant for Golden Plains Shire Council to create the vibrant community precinct and support 22 construction jobs and create 60 new jobs in the long term.

The project is expected to inject an additional $6 million per annum in retail spending in the Golden Plains Shire, and will facilitate the potential expansion of the Golden Plains Farmers’ Market.

The project will create Bannockburn’s first dedicated community space in the centre of town and includes:

  • Water play splash pad and adventure play equipment
  • Upgraded site for the Golden Plains Farmers’ Market
  • Barbecue facilities and shade
  • Public toilets and seating areas
  • New car park
  • Fitness equipment
  • Garden beds and planter boxes
  • Relocation of Playgroup building and Scouts shed to a new location onsite
  • Paved plaza for functions, events and gatherings
  • Improved lighting, safety and accessibility.

Once complete, the Bannockburn Heart will provide new job opportunities and attract more visitors.  It will also improve liveability for Bannockburn’s growing population, particularly for young people.
