The Northshore estate in Kallaroo was developed 40 years ago. At the heart of the suburb is a small community facility built around a club house, including tennis courts and catering for a thriving local community. The facility has long since outgrown its capacity, and the local residents association has advanced a proposal to extend and redevelop the ageing facilities to create a new not-for-profit community hub. Extensive research has been undertaken to ascertain community needs, culminating in a strategic plan for the next five years, including indicative building plans for the redevelopment of the existing facility.

The Northshore community hub will be run by the community for the community. The hub will be built on the existing community base of more than 600 local residents through a program of community activities and events, including health and wellbeing programs, tennis, pickleball, fitness, tai chi and yoga. With strong support from funding commitments from both the City of Joondalup and the WA state government, a funding contribution from the federal government is necessary to make this landmark project a reality. The Northshore community hub redevelopment has significant merit. I wish to formally place on record my strong support for this project.
