Have your say on the Draft Berwick Village Major Activity Centre Structure Plan

The Draft Berwick Village Major Activity Centre Structure Plan is now open for community feedback.

The draft structure plan was endorsed at the May council meeting.

It outlines the long-term vision to guide how the area grows, develops and evolves

In 2024, Casey Council gathered community feedback and ideas for the area to understand what matters most.

According to the Council, this feedback has helped shape the updates to the structure plan to support growth and development while preserving and enhancing the area for years to come.

City of Casey Mayor Councillor Stefan Koomen said: “The Berwick Village Activity Centre’s beloved village character remains at the heart of its future.

“I’m confident that the draft structure plan will ensure that improvements can be made to benefit the Casey community, while protecting the charm and unique feel of Berwick Village.

“I encourage residents to participate in the next step of this engagement process and share their feedback.”

The community can see how their initial feedback helped shape the draft plan and have a say in refining the final structure plan.

Akoonah Ward Cr Scott Dowling said: “As a long-term Berwick resident, I’m dedicated to keeping our town vibrant, connected and sustainable, whilst maintaining the charm.

“I encourage all our residents to share their ideas on how we shape the future of our home ground.”

Residents can attend one of the planned pop-ups (details below) to ask questions and provide feedback, or they can share their thoughts through Casey Conversations: conversations.casey.vic.gov.au

Pop Up 1: Saturday June 28, 12 -3pm at Pioneers Park, Berwick
