LODDON Mayor Dan Straub this morning officially opening the $3.7 million Pyramid Hill Community Centre.
The public event was announced late last Friday by Loddon Shire.
And member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh added a regal touch to the occasion when he presented a copy of the official portrait of King Charles and Queen Camilla to senior citizens' club representative Trevor McIntrosh to hang in the new centre.
Funding for the centre has come from a State Government Regional Infrastructure Fund grant ($2,475,000), Northern District Community Health ($100,000) and Loddon Shire ($700,000)..
An allied health wing will house Northern District Community Health and maternal child health services and a room for the town’s senior citizens’ club.
Construction started early last year and has been completed ahead of schedule.
Future stages of the project will include another extension to the building for Pyramid Hill Neighbourhood House, including library facilities and other services, community gym and additional storage, and spaces for community groups.
The Pyramid Hill centre is the shire’s second multi-million dollar facility to be opened in a year following completion of the $5 million Donaldson Park complex in Wedderburn.
