Community members are invited to apply to be part of a co-design process for the Anglesea Community and Health Hub project.

This will involve a representative group of up to 30 people from the community, including precinct users, with a range of skills, experience and opinions taking part in a series of four workshops over the coming months.

Expressions of interest for the co-design process will open from 1-15 March at surfcoast.vic.gov.au/AngleseaHub. You can call 5261 0600 if you don’t have internet access.

The hub, located on McMillan Street, is home to multiple community groups and agencies that deliver a range of services and programs. Its ageing buildings are struggling to meet community needs, so early planning is underway on a new 30-year plan that meets modern standards and meets service needs now and into the future.

Council endorsed the co-design process as part of further community engagement for the project at its meeting on 27 February.

Council also resolved to ratify an expression of interest submission to Regional Development Victoria’s Regional Worker Accommodation Fund, for a housing component to be considered for funding should Council ultimately determine, after the next phases of engagement, if this is its chosen direction.
