Residents are invited to provide feedback on a draft plan to manage council assets.
The plan will help guide Brimbank council on how to sustainably manage, renew, build or upgrade important public assets.
These public assets include parks and playgrounds, footpaths and bike paths, roads and bridges, stormwater drains, community centres, sports pavilions, libraries and more.
Brimbank mayor Cr Thuy Dang said the draft plan “is part of council’s effort to create and maintain better assets for our municipality.”
“The draft Brimbank Asset Plan is designed to ensure council assets are sustainably managed and remain well-maintained, secure, and visually appealing over the next decade and beyond,” Cr Dang said.
Council said it previously engaged with community members from a wide range of backgrounds — as well as a diverse 39-person Brimbank Community Voice panel — to help shape the draft 10-year asset plan.
Key takeaways from the panel discussion included a push for more inclusive green spaces and a preference for upgrading existing assets before building new ones, among other points.
“We’d love to hear your thoughts on what matters most when you think about community places and spaces,” said Cr Dang.
Council manages over $2.8 billion of public assets that are already in service.
Consultation is open until August 14, 2025.More info: yoursay.brimbank.vic.gov.au
