Members of the public have the chance to help shape the City’s newest community centre.
The City of Greater Geelong has called on the Geelong West community to view and provide feedback on a draft concept plan for the Geelong West Community Hub.
Last year the Geelong West Neighbourhood House received a $10,400 grant through the City’s Community Infrastructure Grants program to develop a concept design for the facility’s upgrade.
The grant and resulting concept design are just the first step in the process, with funding for construction of the new hub still not secured.
The draft concept currently includes plans to integrate the current neighbourhood house with the park, reconfiguring the internal spaces and providing more accessibility through measures such as disabled parking and user-friendly bathroom spaces.
Geelong mayor Stretch Kontelj said the City encouraged the community to shape the future of the Geelong West Community Hub.
“We want to know whether the proposed concept plan reflects what you value in a community hub,” he said.
“If there’s anything on the plan that you feel is missing or could be improved, please let us know. We want to make sure the design elements serve your needs.
“The goal is to make sure that the final design reflects local aspirations such as accessibility, sustainability, flexible spaces and cultural inclusion.
“The City is pleased to work closely with the Geelong West Neighbourhood House to prepare and share the concept plan.”
