Little hands building big in Pakenham Kids and adults built Pakenham in Lego form last Thursday 20 April. Pakenham Library held an event called ‘Let’s Brick Pakenham’, where residents of all ages were invited to the library to build a part of the town in Lego form. Cool cars, humble adobes and even pets were the popular subjects of locals’ brick construction. The Level Crossing Removal Authority, as well as Pakenham MP Emma Vulin, joined in the event.

New family hub Road Integrated Child and Family Centre. The site will offer three kindergarten program rooms, a community room that is futureproofed as an additional kinder room, three consult rooms to cater for Maternal and Child Health and other allied health professionals, an outdoor play space, public art project and many more amenities. The project received State Government funding through the Victorian School Building Authority’s Building Blocks Capacity Grant
Program, and from the Jobs, Precincts and Region’s Growing Suburbs Fund. The build also received developer contributions. The facility was named ‘Toun-nun’, meaning warm, following consultation with the local community, historical groups and the Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation. The Cardinia Shire Council thanked everyone who had their say during the
consultation phase. The event also included a walkthrough of Konewark Integrated Child and Family Centre, which opened in Officer in January last year and also received State Government funding through the Building Blocks Capacity Grant Program, and the Growing Suburbs Fund.
