A new $11.4 million community centre has been completed for Donnybrook, with the multipurpose facility delivering essential services to the fast-growing community.
The City of Whittlesea hosted an event to celebrate the centre’s official opening on Saturday, 21 February 2026.
The murnong Community Centre, located in the Olivine Estate, includes a mini-branch library giving residents access to Yarra Plenty Regional Library’s extensive catalogue, as well as free Wi-Fi and flexible spaces to work, study, connect and relax.
Community groups and residents will be able to hold events or programs in either a large community hall, or one of the multipurpose rooms.
Two kindergarten rooms will help meet the need for three- and four-year-old kinder, while Maternal and Child Health Services will be delivered from two consultation suites.
The community centre has a Changing Places facility and accessible public toilets to ensure the needs of people of all ages and abilities are met.
The City of Whittlesea has partnered with the Victorian Government to deliver this facility, with $2 million from the Growing Suburbs Fund and $709,500 from the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.
