Draft Social Infrastructure Strategy

What is this strategy about?

The Social Infrastructure Strategy provides a framework for how Council can plan for the future facilities that our community uses. Social infrastructure can include things like public halls and community centres, senior citizens centres, play grounds, swimming pools and sporting club facilities.

We know these community facilities help individuals, families, groups and communities meet their social needs, and enhance community wellbeing.

We have also identified that Council has some future challenges as it works out how it can continue to maintain all the buildings and spaces that our community uses at the required standards.

The strategy is not making any recommendations about the future of any individual community buildings or spaces; it has suggested some work that needs to be completed to make sure we have the information we need to make decisions that deliver the best outcome to our community.

We are keen to know if you think that the work that is recommended will give us the information it needs to better plan which facilities will need updates to meet current needs and standards and which facilities are nearing the end of life for which better alternatives may exist.
