Background

What we understand about East Precinct

Thinking and planning for precincts is about recognising the unique character, needs and priorities of different locations and the people that live there.

The following information highlights some of the things we learnt from people in East Precinct during the 2023 Living in Place survey. This information was the starting point for Banyule Futures engagement that took place from April to June 2024.
