The City of Casey is inviting members of the community to share ideas, possible opportunities and help shape the future of Berwick Village Activity Centre.
The feedback will feed into updating the existing Berwick Structure Plan (2011). Structure plans outline how an area will grow and develop in the future based on community goals, background research and policies.
In line with a strategic objective of the Council Plan 2021-25, Casey aims to deliver sustainable infrastructure and activate spaces that cater to our community’s needs. This includes collaborating with the Victorian Planning Authority to implement structure plans that ensure our growth areas, like Clyde and Cranbourne, evolve into dynamic communities.
Berwick Village Activity Centre is recognised as a key hub by both the State Government and local planning guidelines.
Council recognises the invaluable insights residents and users of the space can offer. The community’s observations, creative ideas, and feedback will be crucial in helping Council to shape a plan that aligns with our Long-Term Community Vision 2031, which is to become a more connected, bold and resilient community.
City of Casey Chair of Administrators Noelene Duff PSM said Council is eager to work closely with the community to ensure the structure plan is future-proof for years to come.
“Berwick Village Activity Centre is much loved by the community. It is an area we are extremely lucky to have in Casey, with its unique village character, active community and a number of independent businesses,” she said.
“We want to be able to provide our residents with the best experience possible whilst utilising the space appropriately and maintaining the village charm to be enjoyed by our generation and beyond.
“Our community is the heart of Berwick Village so it is important we hear all about the opportunities, issues and fantastic ideas from those who use the space which will help Council develop the updated structure plan.”
