[edit] Recreation and Culture
Wyndham Vale is host to few recreational facilities as it is a largely a dense residential area. The Wyndham Vale Cultural and Arts Centre contains a library and a performing arts theatre, featuring comedy acts during the International Comedy Festival, live music performance as well as acts composed by local theatre groups. There are also local arts competitions, most recently a theme photography contest. Also located in Wyndham Vale is the Wyndham Vale Lesiure and Sports centre, host to the local basketball team.
[edit] Education
There are several primary schools in Wyndham Vale, however, there are no secondary schools in the area. Students of high school age must travel to Hoppers Crossing or Werribee. Although in the past there have been plans to establish a secondary school in the area, it was abandoned during the Education cuts with the introduction of the Kennett Government, and the land sold to a developer. This action became very common in suburbs of Melbourne during the early 1990s.
[edit] Facilities
Wyndham Vale contains many businesses along its main strip mall, including restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and clothing/beauty stores, as well as corner shops spread around the residential area. A large recent addition to the stores in the area includes the Manor Lakes Shopping Centre, comprising of facilities such as a supermarket, medical centre, and various specialty shops.
[edit] Residential
Over the past few years, Wyndham Vale has become the host of many residential development projects including Manor Lakes, Tarniet Gardens and Wyndham Green. This is due to the large amounts of ex-farmland available on the western edge of town leading to Tarneit.
