BUILDING A COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE FRAMEWORK Judy Spokes Social Planner Moreland City Council Integrated Facility Planning Symposium City of Yarra 2 September 2014
Municipal Strategic Statement (MSS) “optimise access to community infrastructure ( eg. health, education, social, leisure and cultural facilities), suited to the local community’s needs in different locations” STRATEGIES • Encourage the concentration of State Government services within the Coburg, Brunswick and Glenroy Activity Centres. • Encourage the development of a major health facility and associated infrastructure in the Coburg Principal Activity Centre. • Reinforce the existing cultural, entertainment and educational focus of the ‘Brunswick Civic & Cultural Precinct’ centred on the Brunswick Town Hall. • Support the location of community infrastructure within the Coburg, Brunswick and Glenroy Activity Centres and within Neighbourhood Activity Centres. • Ensure the design of community facilities allows for multi-purpose use by different groups with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs over time. • Encourage the development of master plans for major community facilities, such as hospitals, schools and large community facilities, to provide for planned expansion and management of impacts on adjoining areas. • Ensure the design and location of community infrastructure contributes to a local sense of place and opportunities for social connections. • Ensure the provision of community infrastructure is based on sound supporting evidence of community need and benefit. Consider the community benefit of retaining land in a public use zone for community use prior to supporting any rezoning proposal. IMPLEMENTATION • Apply the Development Contribution Plan Overlay (DCPO) to collect development contributions towards community infrastructure, as appropriate. • Integrate community infrastructure planning with activity centre planning. • Apply the Moreland Community Infrastructure Framework and associated principles as appropriate. • Apply the DPO or IPO to implement adopted master plans.

Community Infrastructure Framework A process to assess existing Council facilities and plan for provision of future facilities using common criteria, demographic forecasts and benchmarks Stage 1 Stage 2 UPGRADE, EVIDENCE OF ASSESSING PLAN FOR NEW EXTENSION, NEED FOR NEW EXISTING FACILITIES MAINTENANCE FACILITIES FACILITIES BUSINESS CAPITAL CASES FOR WORKS NEW PROJECTS
Community Infrastructure Framework tools 2. suburb-based 1. an interactive community needs database of Council assessments INFORMING: building assets - Capital budget Community needs / - Asset Mgt Planning Presented as a new investment priorities - Structure plans community facilities data informed by: - Service Planning layer in GIS • pop/n benchmarks - Site/precinct plans • Assessment scores of Linked to assessments of functionality & accessibility and accessibility functionality for each facility
To be on the map is to be ON THE AGENDA
We worked closely with planners and managers of services in: Aged & Disability Aquatic & Leisure Arts & Culture Children’s Services Civic /community halls Library Services Maternal & Child Health Sport & recreation Youth Services Neighbourhood houses Open Space (separate GIS layer) 26 facility types are coded into GIS mapping
