Cardinia Shire Council is welcoming community feedback on the concept plans for a new community centre in Garfield North.
The $2.3 million project will be jointly funded by the Victorian Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund and Cardinia Shire Council’s Capital Works Program.
As part of this successful grant submission, concept plans for a new multipurpose community facility within Cannibal Creek Reserve, Garfield North have been created.
Lack of facilities and places for social connection was magnified after strong advocacy from the local community following the 2019 Bunyip Complex Fires.
“As the community recovers from the impacts of natural disasters, the Garfield North Community Centre project is one part of a long-term, multilayered social support and community development process to support the recovery of the community now and into the future,” council said.
The new community centre will be used by existing recreation and community groups and will provide a central meeting place for the Garfield North community.
Council is seeking user group and community feedback on the plans to help finalise the design.
Feedback submissions are open until Thursday 30 June.
