Partnering to grow a healthy community

Published on 27 February 2025

Kingston projects have received a welcome boost from other levels of government to deliver fantastic community outcomes.

We recently celebrated advocacy successes that Put Kingston First including:

  • Launch of the new North Cheltenham Preschool
  • Opening of the new Dingley Reserve Pavilion
  • Announcement of Australian Government funding to revamp Cheltenham’s Le Page park.

Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Hon Catherine King, Federal member for Issacs and Attorney-General, Hon Mark Dreyfus, Member for Clarinda, Meng Heang Tak MP and Victorian member for Bentleigh East, Nick Staikos MP joined Kingston Mayor Cr Georgina Oxley and Councillors Hadi Saab, Caroline White, Chris Hill and Georgia Erevnidis at events to launch these exciting projects.

Dingley Reserve

Dingley Cricket, Dingley Junior Football Club and Dingley Football and Netball Clubs joined us to celebrate the redeveloped Dingley Reserve pavilion.

The project meets growing demand for cricket and AFL facilities and a need for more community facilities.

The $9.9 million revamp was in collaboration with the Australian Government, the Victorian Government, AFL Victoria, Cricket Australia/Victoria and the resident clubs. We committed $5.2m to the project.

Le Page Park

We're now looking forward to a revamped Le Page Park, Cheltenham following the announcement of $5.8 million from the Australian Government towards the $14.7 million project. The rejuvenation will include a new tennis pavilion, six new hard-surface tennis courts, accessible floodlit multi-sport hardcourt area, cricket nets and lighting, an active recreation area for informal ball sports, climbing and more.

North Cheltenham Preschool

And younger members of our community hosted a celebration last week to mark the official opening of the redeveloped North Cheltenham Preschool. Our $4.6 project was supported by a $982,000 grant from the Victorian School Building Authority.

The modern building with two indoor – and flexible outdoor - learning spaces increase capacity for three and four-year-olds in Cheltenham.
