Join in the opening celebrations at the Lakelands Community House

Lakelands residents and the local community are invited to join the City of Mandurah and Peet Limited to celebrate the official opening of the new Lakelands Community House on Saturday 9 August.

The Community House, located on the corner Dalona Parkway and Jasper Way in the award-winning Lakelands Private Estate is a community partnership project between the City of Mandurah and Peet Limited.

Her Worship the Mayor of Mandurah Paddi Creevey will officially open the Community House at 12pm, with a free fun-filled community event to follow running until 3pm.

An afternoon for the whole family to enjoy is planned, with a host of activities and entertainment including a roving magician, arts and crafts and informative community displays by local groups as well as a free sausage sizzle!

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said he was very pleased to see the completion of the project result in the opening of a great community facility.

“At Peet, we understand the importance of having the early provision of places and space for the community to meet and interact. This community building will provide an interim facility enabling the community to develop and form within their own suburb,” said Mr Gore.

“And the Lakelands Community House project is a great demonstration of what can be achieved through public and private partnerships.”

The Lakelands Community House is already the new home for the Lakelands Sales and Information Office and will also host future meetings of the Lakelands community groups. It will also be available for use by other local community groups, and will form a hub for Lakelands and the surrounding neighbourhood.

City of Mandurah Mayor Paddi Creevey said the Community House will provide a place for residents to meet, socialise, make new friends and gather information on services and activities available in the local area. She thanked the staff from both the Council and Peet Limited for all their work in finalising this project.

“Already people in the community are coming up with their own ideas about what they can use the House for and getting together to form groups which is tremendous to see,” Mayor Creevey said.
