We’re planning upgrades to community centres, libraries and community halls to better support our growing community.
The Social Infrastructure Plan describes actions how we will improve services and community buildings in the next 15 years.
Our ApproachPlanning social infrastructure for local areas Because communities across PAE are different, social infrastructure planning is based on four local precincts each with its own Action Plan. Planning a social infrastructure network for the whole City We’ve also planned for the whole city, to create a connected and fair spread of facilities across PAE. This includes a City-wide Action Plan. Different types of actions The draft Plan includes actions to improve how community buildings are used and, where needed, to improve or replace the buildings. |
Why this is neededBenefits of social infrastructure Social infrastructure like libraries, halls and community centres helps people connect, learn and supports community wellbeing. More community space is needed The population of the City is growing and changing. This creates demand for more spaces, different spaces or different ways to use them. Facilities need upgrades or replacement Some Council facilities are reaching the end of their life or are not well located, so we need to plan upgrades or replacements. Opportunity to plan for the future PAE is planning for future needs, including community hubs that combine services, are convenient for residents and support long‑term sustainability. |
Key focus areas

Ensure that existing facilities across the city have youth-friendly spaces, meeting their needs, with priority to the growing and younger populations of the Eastern and Enfield/Blair Athol precincts
Redesign community centres to be more inclusive and provide spaces to meet community needs e.g. improved kitchens, outdoor cooking facilities, quiet areas, social spaces and activity spaces.
Improve safety, amenity and disability access in community centres, particularly older buildings.
Design new sporting clubrooms buildings to be more flexible and able to be used outside of sporting use.
