Community Infrastructure Framework

The Community Infrastructure Framework sets out how we plan and deliver community facilities and community services.

The main purpose of the Framework is to identify the shire’s need for facilities and services, now and into the future. We take into account population changes and community needs.

Framework components

Community Infrastructure Planning Policy

This Policy states that Council will follow the adopted Community Infrastructure Planning Process. The Policy also includes a set of Planning and Design Principles.

Community Infrastructure Planning Process

The adopted Planning Process provides the methodology describing how the Community Infrastructure Framework operates. It explains how infrastructure projects are identified through an evidence-based approach.

Community infrastructure planning process

By following the adopted Community Infrastructure Planning Process, Council has identified a list of priority community infrastructure projects:

Strategic Community Infrastructure Priorities report – all Moorabool Shire (August 2019)

This report is the primary output from the Community Infrastructure Framework. Every recommended project contained in this list is backed by comprehensive evidence of current and future community need.

Location-specific extracts from this report are available below:

The Audit report lists all the existing community infrastructure in Moorabool Shire that was included within the Community Infrastructure Needs Analysis, as well as community facilities in neighbouring municipalities.
