Council has commenced planning for a community hub in central Dandenong.
This will be a multi-purpose community facility providing a range of complementary services in a single, accessible location with a range of shared facilities and functions for the community, groups and organisations.
This project represents the next step to develop infrastructure in central Dandenong to meet current and future community needs. Council is committed to engagement and consultation during the development of the Dandenong Community Hub and has recently completed the first stage of consultation into the development of a business case and concept plan. The consultants sought community views on services for inclusion in the hub and possible locations along Stuart Street in Dandenong. The community also provided their views on alternative locations.
A precise building footprint and construction costs have not yet been finalised and will be informed by feedback in the next stage of development, which includes the production of draft concept plans.
The initial engagement findings were discussed at a Councillor briefing last month and I look forward to seeing this exciting project progress.
