Bridge Road hub ready to connect the community

Published on 25 August 2025

Bridge Road Community Hub Stage 2 in Strathtulloh is now complete, giving residents a fully integrated and accessible recreation space to gather and enjoy.

City of Melton Mayor, Cr Steve Abboushi was joined by State Member for Melton, Steve McGhie MP, and fellow Councillors last week to officially open Stage 2 of the Bridge Road Community Hub.

Facilities at the new hub include an oval for football and cricket, netball court, cricket practice nets and lighting alongside various visitor and player amenities. A brand-new community pavilion provides a home base for local clubs and events.

Landscaping works include new tree plantings to provide shade and informal spaces for people to meet, relax, or enjoy a casual kick-about.

A new shared path network safely connects residents with the Bridge Road Community Hub, the Toolern Regional Park, and nearby neighbourhoods.

Council contributed over $11 million towards the project, along with $800,000 through the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund and $250,000 from the Local Sport Infrastructure Fund.
