Community celebration to mark pavilion opening at Wellard

The local community is set to celebrate the fruits of a partnership between local government, State Government and big business with the official opening of the new Wellard Community Pavilion at The Village at Wellard this weekend (16 March).

The pavilion – located on the sports oval on Wellard Road – is a new multipurpose community facility which will be available for use by local sporting and community groups. The Peter Carnley Anglican Community School will also use the facility for their sports program.

The Wellard Community Pavilion is the result of a partnership between Peet Limited, the Department of Housing and Works, Town of Kwinana, Department of Sport and Recreation and the Peter Carnley Anglican Community School.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said this was a milestone event for the estate and a great example of the benefits private/public partnerships can deliver to the community.

“The pavilion is a great facility, made possible by the commitment and funding from all of the project partners,” said Mr Gore.

To celebrate the official opening, the Town of Kwinana and The Village at Wellard joint venture partners, Peet Limited and the Department of Housing and Works, are hosting a free community celebration this Sunday.

Being held at the new pavilion between 10am and 12pm, there will be plenty of fun activities including displays, sports demonstrations, live music, face painting, a bouncy castle and a free sausage sizzle.

Town of Kwinana Mayor Carol Adams will officially cut the ribbon and declare the pavilion open at 10.30am.

“It will be a great opportunity for The Village at Wellard residents and local community to have a look at the pavilion and share in the celebration with their neighbours,” said Mr Gore. “I’m sure this will be the first of many great community events.”

The Leda Junior Football Club is the first group to start using the Wellard Community Pavilion and the Town of Kwinana are keen to hear from other community groups interested in using the facility.

The Village at Wellard will eventually be home to 2700 families, living on 320 hectares including 28 hectares of landscaped parks, 17 hectares dedicated to a Bush Forever site and 10 hectares of conservation wetlands.

There are currently a variety of options available for people interested in joining The Village at Wellard community including cottage, traditional and large family homesites in the first release south of the railway line within a few minutes’ walk of the new Wellard Train Station, as well as some very affordable titled lots available in the Village Rise, Leda.
