The Bunyip Barbecue Rotunda and Shelter Shed, constructed by the Bunyip Community Market, was officially opened to the public on Australia Day with a free sausage sizzle.
It is located near the fire brigade running track at the Bunyip Recreation Reserve.
The twin plate barbecue is coin operated needing $1 per large hotplate for about 25 minutes of cooking.
However for larger gatherings, both barbecues can be operated simultaneously. There is also a double power point to plug in an urn or any other appliance.
Surrounding the rotunda is a large expanse of short grass which will allow children to play in safety. Toilet facilities are located nearby.
There are still some additions to be made such as a commercial table and rubbish bins.
