Twenty-eight not-for-profit groups operating in the Wyndham area have shared in $35,000 of financial grants distributed through the 2022 Westbrook Community Fund.
Each group was awarded a grant between $750-$1,500 to support their local community project.
One organisation that was successful this time round was the not-for-profit Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library. Representing Little Buddies at the presentation, President, Kirsten Mannan, was thrilled to accept a cheque for $1,500, which will be put towards the toy delivery program.
The Victorian Government is currently in the process of planting new trees in growth areas across Melbourne to support air quality, reduce temperatures, provide more shade, open spaces and reduce pollution. Melbourne’s west is set to see new trees planted as part of the state $5 million investment into the More Trees for a Cooler, Greener West initiative.
The City of Wyndham will benefit from more shade in local streets, around schools in ten locations and additional planting across parks and reserves.

It takes more than bricks and mortar to establish vibrant healthy communities; it also requires a range of services delivered by community groups and associations which are at the heart of every community. But while the work done by these groups, and the contributions they make to local communities is invaluable, it sometimes goes unrecognised.
This month as part of our LOVE LOCAL series, we took the opportunity to chat with Sarah Connolly MP State Member for Tarneit, about her path to becoming a politician, her work in and around the local electorate and what she and her family love most about Tarneit.
Here’s the chance to provide input for the future use, management and development of the Fortitude Drive Reserve active open space.
Wyndham City Council wants to ensure that as our community grows and needs change, the strategic planning matches up with current community expectations and needs. Wyndham City Council want to hear directly from the community on their thoughts, needs and ideas when it comes to planning for this open space.
