Latest Updates: Our upcoming Community Facilities Strategy
Council is developing a new Community Facilities Strategy to guide the planning, provision, and management of Council-owned community facilities through to 2036.
This new Strategy will build on the existing Social and Cultural Infrastructure Framework and Halls and Facilities Strategy, which are currently under review.
To ensure it reflects the needs of our diverse community, we will be consulting with residents, workers, students, and visitors to understand how current facilities are being used, and to gather feedback on what improvements or new facilities may be needed in the future.
The Community Facilities Strategy focuses on a broad range of Council-owned facilities, including:
- Community centres and hubs
- For-hire venues
- Libraries
- Historical houses
- Recreation and leisure facilities with the potential to be used for community activities
- Council-owned buildings that are leased to organisations to provide community support services.
