Bubup Wilam upgrade supports Aboriginal communities
Bubup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre in Thomastown has undergone a significant redevelopment thanks to a partnership between the City of Whittlesea and the Victorian Government.
City of Whittlesea Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson was joined this week by The Hon. Gabrielle Williams, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, to mark the official opening of the newly-upgraded centre.
The upgrades included the extension of the multi-purpose meeting room, the construction of an indoor library, increased audiovisual and training capability, a sandpit and shade extension, and new outdoor heating and blinds.
The improvements also included the construction of Bunjil’s Nest, a culturally-significant external meeting space in the centre’s forecourt.
