West Footscray Community Facilities Plan Consultation 

Update and next steps

Hi Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) members,

 

I hope everyone is well and keeping safe.

 

Thank you again to those who provided feedback during stage four of consultation.

 

A large volume of feedback was received which has been reviewed and assessed, and adjustments to the master plans has been made based on key themes of the feedback.

 

The updated master plans have now been reviewed by Council and approved to be exhibited for final consultation.

 

On Monday 27 July a two week consultation period will commence to exhibit the updated masterplans to the community, and to invite formal submissions of feedback on these revisions.

 

The link to the master plans and to the formal submission process is below and will be live from Monday:
