Community infrastructure refers collectively to physical community facilities (such as libraries, community halls and sports ovals) and to the services, programs and other activities delivered through those facilities by council or other organisations.
The Planning Process articulates a consistent, repeatable and evidence-based approach to assessing current and future community needs for services and facilities. Council will follow the Planning Process when planning, designing or delivering new community infrastructure, upgrading existing facilities, or deciding on the future use of community infrastructure assets.
The intent of the Planning Process is to ensure that planning decisions are based on comprehensive and consistent evidence. That evidence will be updated as required to ensure it remains up to date.
