Context

The precinct has three 20-minute neighbourhoods. The Ivanhoe major activity centre is home to the Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub that provides a range of services and spaces: the Maternal Child and Health, a library, an arts hub, the Centre Ivanhoe which is a large venue for hire, and multi-purpose meetings room. The area is well serviced with sports pavilions. The area is also serviced by the Ivanhoe Aquatic Fitness Centre. The non-Council owned buildings include the Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School, Rossi Park Scout Hall and Livingston Community Centre.

Outside of this 20-minute neighbourhood is Fairy Hills Preschool, a double unit kindergarten which is located near the Chelsworth Park pavilions.

The 20-minute neighbourhood in Ivanhoe East is centred around the Ivanhoe East Shopping Village. Within this neighbourhood is East Ivanhoe Preschool and within walking distance are the Ivanhoe East Bowling Club Pavilion, Ivanhoe Croquet Pavilion and Ivanhoe Park Pavilion. Ivanhoe East Preschool will undergo significant renovation with State Government funding. The area has no Council-owned multi-purpose meeting rooms but the George’s Anglican Church offers rooms for hire.

Eaglemont has a 20-minute neighbourhood centred around the Eaglemont Shopping Village. The neighbourhood is not serviced by any Council owned community infrastructure but is walking distance to other community buildings.
