Community Facilities Access and Use Policy

The City of Greater Dandenong is dedicated to creating community facilities that serve as inclusive and welcoming spaces for everyone. These hubs promote social inclusion and connectedness, providing places where established groups can thrive, and new connections can be forged. By offering multipurpose amenities and diverse programs, these facilities ensure that all community members feel valued and engaged, fostering a vibrant and cohesive community where everyone belongs. 

Community Facilities are far more than just buildings and can be: 

• provided for people to participate in the life of the community,  
• available to the community to hold their own activities and celebrations,  
• well programmed and activated places that offer spaces, activities and resources 
  that are needed by, and of interest to, the local community.  

This Policy defines Council’s position in relation to the objectives and use of community facilities, which provides the basis for a consistent approach to their management and use.
