HISTORY OF WONGA PARK
COMMUNITY COTTAGE:
The 1950's orchardist cottage and some adjoining land was purchased by Lilydale Council in 1978 to extend the recreation reserve. In February 1980 a meeting of interested local residents formed a management committee and the Cottage was used as a meeting place and for skill sharing. It is a credit to the community spirit of the dedicated volunteers that the cottage was operating for ten years without a paid coordinator. With amalgamations in 1995 Wonga Park became part of the City of Manningham. The area changed from a quiet semi-rural area of orchardists to an increasingly busy, largely residential community, demanding increased services. Manningham City Council refurbished and extended the existing buildings to create an integrated facility encompassing the WPCC, Childcare, the Burch Memorial Preschool, WP Playgroup and the Maternal and Child Health Service. The new centre opened in 2005. This enabled the community to have increased access to the cottage courses and activities, providing the cottage with the opportunity to expand and meet their ever changing needs to this day.
