Lucas Community Hub Expansion

The Lucas Community Hub Expansion is a $2.5 million project that will provide an expanded kindergarten program to the rapidly growing population in Ballarat’s western suburbs.

This infrastructure project will ensure the City of Ballarat continues to provide high-quality and accessible facilities for children and families in the Lucas community. The City of Ballarat is continuing its investment in community infrastructure that will expand kindergarten programs to ensure that all children living in Ballarat are ‘school ready’ and can access early learning close to home.

• An enlarged entrance to improve accessibility  
• A reconfigured kindergarten foyer to improve crowd circulation  
• A new staff planning room to improve staff administration space  
• A laundry and additional storage to improve the functionality of the building

Investment secured: $2.5 million
