Centred around the Montmorency Shopping Village on Were St, this 20-minute neighbourhood is well serviced with a variety of community buildings. Petrie Park has a sports pavilion and is home to the Montmorency Bowling Club Pavilion. It also has three non-Council owned buildings - the Montmorency RSL, a Scout Hall and the Petrie Park Pigeon Club. The Montmorency Children’s Centre provides a Maternal and Child Health Centre and occasional childcare. The Petrie Park Hall has a theatre stage and commercial kitchen that is suitable for large functions. The non-Council owned Montmorency Community Church is also within this neighbourhood.

Montmorency Park provides three pavilions along the Plenty River Trail.

Panorama Heights and Sherbourne Preschools in Montmorency are outside of the 20-minute neighbourhood. Sherbourne Preschool is not fit-for-purpose and has problems stemming from topography, location and internal layout. Briar Hill Hall provides a large hall and meeting room with accessible toilets. Briar Hill Preschool and Malcolm Blair Reserve are located in the North precinct near Briar Hill Preschool and Malcolm Blair Reserve.

St Helena Preschool is the only Council-owned building in the St Helena 20-minute neighbourhood. St Helena Secondary College is nearby but is not owned by Council. Outside of the St Helena neighbourhood centre is Anthony Beale Reserve Pavilion which is also located near community buildings in the North precinct.
