After the usual stuff of investing a few hundred million (600m?) for interest and setting up family and friends for life...

Use interest gained to support a diverse range of charitable causes as well as setting up a few scolarships.

Buy 30-40 houses on the same block nearby over the course of say 10 years and rent them out until all have been secured and demolish them creating a new largish local park, provide land along the boundaries for some medium density family sized apartments surrounding it.
My Council area has the least amount of parkland in the metro area. Probably to cost about 70m to fund aquisition and the park. Developers and council can fund and build the apartments. Maybe do a deal with state government for them to aquire adjacent land for a new school.

Buy myself a nice block of land near the bush about an hour outside the city, build a neat home there with a huge workshop and garage to work on cars, maybe a bit of a hobby farm on the land too.

Buy some more land in a suitable rurual area and establish a radio astronomy observatory with a few medium sized dishes, try to partner with a number of local and international universities to fund the project and let them use the facility. Free fiber connections for the closest town residents where this would be located, a few more scolarships and research grants to go with this one.

This would be expensive, at least $200m in setting it up initially.
