Building Our Community

Creating a vibrant, active, healthy, connected, caring and safe place to live is at the crux of our partnerships with the community in the western Bay.

Work never stops in the planning for social infrastructure, building better urban environments, providing tertiary facilities, adapting to our growing ageing population and recognising the role of arts and culture in creating vibrant communities. New research is exploring all these issues and addressing how SmartGrowth can make the most of land use planning and economic growth.
