Little kids are building big

Local Pakenham families joined teams on the big construction sites from across Pakenham for a creative session of building big.

The event, held at Pakenham Library, was organised by Big Build teams from Level Crossing Removals, Healesville-Kooweerup Road and Pakenham Roads upgrades to bring kids and families in for a fun time of play these school holidays.

Locals big and small tried their hands in designing and building roads and bridges with giant blue blocks, while also testing their skills at operating the mini diggers and colouring a mural of their favourite machinery.

Team members of the Big Build groups talked to locals about the projects to build and upgrade freeway access, train lines and the key routes across the growing Pakenham community.
