Residents invited to celebration for new Civic Square

Cumberland Council has invited the community to attend the grand opening of the state-of-the-art multifunctional public space, from 4-10.30pm, where there will be a great range of food trucks, live music from bands such as Lolo Lovina and Mojo Paua, fire and circus performances, children’s face painting and craft activities, community performances and lots more.
Mayor Lisa Lake said the new public space will provide residents with a dynamic community hub that welcomes, fosters connections, celebrates diversity and will be a place for all to enjoy.
“Merrylands Civic Square represents a significant milestone for Cumberland,” she said.
“This vibrant space will serve as a catalyst for connection, culture and creativity in our community.
“It will also help boost the local night life and economy, bringing diverse cultures together and providing the community with a unique place for family and friends to gather.”
The new public space features large trees and landscaped areas, art, furniture and amenities including bike racks, a water feature, smart bins, smart light poles, tables and benches.
In the heart of Merrylands and close to local retail outlets and businesses, it will be the ideal place for cultural gatherings and events, as well as social activities.
