Thank you for your feedback on the East Precinct draft actions

Short-term (1-3 years)

1. Deliver change rooms and amenities at Yallambie Park to support female participation.

2. Deliver storage shed improvements at Viewbank Scout Hall to maximise use of building.

3. Explore use and partnership opportunities of Viewbank College Performing Arts Centre.

4. Undertake a building and site assessment of the Lower Plenty Community Centre and the Men’s Shed located at 162 Main Road.

5. Determine the long-term viability of Lower Plenty Community Centre located at 162 Main Road.

The 20-minute neighbourhood is centred around the Main Road Lower Plenty shopping precinct. Eight community buildings are located within this area. The Main Road Community Hall provides a meeting and activity space for community groups. The building is in reasonable condition but has limited parking. The Lower Plenty Community Centre (a house located at 162 Main Road) is within 500m. The building isn’t fit for purpose. The Greensborough Men’s Shed is located directly behind the building.

The Lower Plenty Preschool and Greensborough Historical Society share a building off Para Road. A non-Council owned Scout Hall is located nearby which provides rooms for hire. Three sports pavilions are located at Glenauburn and Yallambie Parks servicing the Yallambie community.

Three community buildings are clustered around Viewbank Reserve outside the 20-minute neighbourhood. They include a tennis sports pavilion, Winston Hills Preschool and Viewbank Scout Hall. The non-Council owned Heidelberg Golf Club provides rooms for large private functions.

Banyule Flats Reserve Pavilion is not located near any other community buildings.

Viewbank preschool and Viewbank Maternal and Child Health Centre are clustered together. Viewbank Preschool has an average fit-for-purpose rating, although the site has topography constraints. The State Government has funded improvements to the outdoor play area and bathroom.
