Brimbank council is seeking feedback for the draft of its Community Services and Infrastructure Plan.
Council said it uses the plan to ensure council-owned buildings are well-planned, well-designed, and continue to meet the needs of the community into the future.
The draft plan, for the years 2026-2038, is a full update to the 2018 version, according to council.
There are 147 facilities across 93 buildings covered in the plan that provide services including arts and culture programs, library services, meeting spaces, neighbourhood houses, and life-stage services such as maternal and child health, playgroups, parent groups, youth services, kindergartens, long day care centres, and programs for older adults.
Dedicated facilities including Guides and Scout halls, Men’s Sheds, bicycle education centres, and the housing of local heritage and historical artefacts are also covered.
The latest draft includes an updated project list, changed priority of project and new recommendations.
Council said it used a range of evidence to inform the plan including demographic data, community needs analysis (number and type of facilities required), as well as audit and assessment of the physical condition of buildings.
Consultation for the draft policy closes Saturday 28 February.
The draft will be finalised in March to present to council for consideration in April with the final document available to the public in May.
