Integrated Facility Planning Symposium City of Yarra

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.

- Capital budget - Asset Mgt Planning - Structure plans - Service Planning - Site/precinct plans

Community Infrastructure Framework tools

Community needs / investment priorities informed by: • pop/n benchmarks • Assessment scores of

functionality & accessibility

Brunswick’s Fleming Park Master Plan is one of several site/precinct projects informed by Community Infrastructure Framework analysis

From: Northern Horizons – 50 Year Infrastructure for Melbourne’s North (Arup 2013)

NORTHERN HORIZONS: regional benchmarks a starting point for finer grained local analysis
