Community can only have say on concept design for new hub

The proposed Cranbourne Hub is out for feedback but for residents, they won’t be able to have a say on budget allocation, services within the building, the proposed location, the scale of the building, and assets and services outside of the property footprint.

According to Casey Council, these are ‘non-negotiables’, but they are seeking feedback on the concept design.

The proposed $40.3 million community services hub at 1-3 Lyall Street will house the Connected Libraries (Cranbourne branch), City of Casey’s Customer Service and Cranbourne Youth Information Centre all in one convenient location, in an attempt to offer the community access to a variety of services in one convenient location.

Peninsula Community Legal Centre has been identified as a preferred community service to be included in the proposed Cranbourne Hub concept design.

The draft concept design has been exhibited on Casey Conversations, including floor plans for three levels.

Communities are welcome to provide their feedback on some elements of the design.

The public consultation will close on Sunday 16 March. Council officers will consider community feedback and share the community engagement summary report in March this year.

Council will also seek endorsement to adopt the project into the Capital Works Program this year. The hub is expected to open in 2029.
