Mayor's Message

It is wonderful to see work advancing on the $1.7 million Dalvik Park sports amenities Building in Merriwa, part of the City’s Capital Works Program. The new complex will deliver changerooms, storage facilities, a kiosk, first aid room and gated outdoor area for members of our community now and into the future.

This exciting project is supported by $400,000 from the State Government’s Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund, with construction expected to conclude in May 2022.
