Shaping Our Community Heart

This month we bring you a major consultation for all residents and ratepayers to share their ideas.

We know from previous consultation that the Campbelltown community would like a Performing Arts Centre. Council have committed to investigating options for the development of a new Performing Arts Centre combined with Council offices, function and community spaces on the site of the existing Council offices at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor.

Council’s draft strategic plan also seeks to explore creating a new vibrant precinct for dining and shopping.

A new integrated arts, civic and community facility together with a vibrant main street would become the area’s centrepiece - its Community Heart.

Importantly, Council is seeking to deliver this project at a neutral to limited cost to ratepayers. To achieve this, revenue-generating opportunities and activities are also being explored, such as co-working spaces and other complimentary uses.

We invite you to envision a time 10 years from now, and picture a vibrant Community Heart:

• What does it look like?
• How do you feel in this lively space?
• What activities are you enjoying?
• How did you travel there, and how did you move around within the Precinct?

There are various ways to get involved. Find out more information or contribute, please visit our Shaping our Community Heart consultation.

Consultation Closes: 4pm, Friday 30 August 2024

Playford Road Reserve Upgrade

Work is well underway at Playford Road Reserve.

• Play equipment has been installed, with softfall installed in some areas
• Courts have been constructed in readiness for line painting, and fences are in place
• The grassed area has been laid
• Shade sails are up
• Seating and planting is underway.

This space is going to be fantastic for summer for local schools to use, children in surrounding streets and visitors to the area to use.

Check out our Project Update gallery for details of progress.
