Brimbank council is calling for the public to help shape new strategies to guide the development of the area’s residential development.
The new Brimbank Housing Strategy, Neighbourhood Character Strategy and Residential Development Framework will provide direction on where and how new residential development should occur across Brimbank over the next 20 years.
The community is invited to provide information to help council understand what people value about their neighbourhoods and what kind of housing they will need in the future.
Brimbank mayor Jasmine Nguyen said she would invite all members of the community to tell them what they value about their neighbourhoods.
“Council needs to find ways to manage housing growth in a way that meets the needs of our existing and future community,” she said.
“This will help shape how Brimbank’s residential areas should develop in the future.”
Brimbank council is also currently revisiting, reviewing and gathering information about all of its residential areas in order to identify their existing neighbourhood character.
The council will then use the feedback to shape a draft Neighbourhood Character Strategy, which will set out how council proposes to respect the existing character or encourage a change in character, depending on the aspirations for housing growth.
Feedback closes at 4pm on Monday, November 28.
