Have your say on the future of St Albans town centre

Locals can provide feedback on Brimbank council’sd draft ‘St Albans Place Management Framework,’ which council said aims to strengthen economic development, improve safety and amenity, build partnerships, and support ongoing activation and investment in the St Albans town centre.

Brimbank mayor Thuy Dang said the framework provides a strong foundation for the management of the St Albans town centre.

“By 2030, it is our vision that St Albans town centre will be known as one of Melbourne’s most dynamic and loved multicultural destinations – a place full of people, community spirit, authentic food and street life,” mayor Cr Dang said.

“This framework will help us deliver on that vision by building on our cultural strengths, supporting local businesses, improving safety and attracting new investment.”

The framework focuses on five key areas that relate to program management and partnerships, marketing and activation, community safety and access, business development and investment attraction, and community and cultural development.

Council said the framework has been developed with input from businesses, community members and stakeholders.

The framework involves annual action planning by council departments, resourcing through council budget and regular progress reporting, according to council.

Council also proposed a monitoring program to assess the effectiveness of the framework, which will involve customer and business surveying.

The community consultation is open until October 21.
