Earth moves at
Sam Riley Drive Reserve
Heavy earthmoving machinery can be seen onsite as work gets underway on the brand-new Samantha Riley Drive Reserve in North Kellyville .
Bulk earthworks on the two sports fields located in the eastern portion of the reserve are being carried out to transform the area into the Shire ’ s newest sporting facility .
Once complete , the new North Kellyville Reserve will include four multipurpose turf sports fields that can also be reconfigured into two ovals , along with an amenities building with accessible toilets , change rooms , kiosk , referee room and storage , as well as an onsite 200 space carpark .
The facility will also include cricket practice nets , shared pathways , a children ’ s playground with picnic settings and a basketball half court .
Hills Shire Mayor Dr Peter Gangemi said it was terrific to see how much work has been completed in a matter of weeks . “ This is a fantastic project that will benefit residents of North Kellyville and sporting groups in the Shire , and I ’ m proud that we can deliver this facility for our growing North Kellyville community ,” he said .
“ This demonstrates our commitment to providing more open space facilities in North Kellyville , and supporting healthy and active lifestyles .”
The project is expected to be completed by the second half of 2023 , weather dependent .

My Kids Market is coming to the rescue
The hugely popular My Kids Market is helping families with the rising costs of living in more ways than one !
Held multiple times a year in Stanhope Gardens , Penrith and Kellyville , the original and largest community market to buy , sell and recycle pre-loved babies and kids ’ items promises big savings for families .
So , whether you ’ re a savvy shopper on the hunt for a bargain or you ’ ve got a heap of gently used children ’ s items that your kids have outgrown and you ’ d like to recycle , this event is a win-win !
If , like many families , you ’ ve gradually accumulated a bunch of kids ’ clothes and toys that your little ones have outgrown , hosting a stall at My Kids Market has a number of fabulous benefits – here are just a few :
• it ’ s the perfect opportunity to declutter the kids ’ rooms
• you ’ ll be giving another family the opportunity to enjoy your quality pre-loved items and keeping them out of landfill
• with the cost of living rising you ’ ll make some much-needed cash for your family !
With kids growing out of their clothing and toys so quickly , it makes complete sense that pre-loved items are passed onto other families instead of being added to landfill .
And with all the popular baby and kids ’ brands to be found , you ’ re guaranteed to walk away with some beautiful additions to your little one ’ s wardrobe or nursery .
Business Stalls are also welcome for those who provide unique baby / kids items to showcase your unique brand to a whole new audience . This is where you ’ ll find My Kids
