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.
*This information is taken from Banyule's Community Satisfaction Survey, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census, the Living in Place and Health and Wellbeing Survey and Banyule's Household Survey.
Our community is made up of diverse cultures, beliefs, abilities, bodies, sexualities, ages and genders. We are committed to access, equity, participation and rights for everyone: principles which empower, foster harmony and increase the wellbeing of an inclusive community.
Banyule City Council is proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as traditional custodians of the land and we pay respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past, present and emerging, who have resided in the area and have been an integral part of the region’s history.
