The Croydon Community Wellbeing Precinct Masterplan was endorsed by Council at its Meeting on Monday 27 July.

A draft Masterplan for the precinct was presented to the community in November 2019 for consultation. We received extensive feedback which has informed a revised plan for the precinct, taking into consideration the communities ideas, suggestions and concerns.

The revised Masterplan was presented to the community for consultation from 8 June to 10 July. Community sentiment for the revised Masterplan was once again very positive, and we thank everyone who has participated in the consultation process and provided us with their feedback.

Next Steps:

Over the coming months the project team will turn their attention to developing detailed designs for the Precinct. There will be further consultation opportunities and we will continue to work with our key user groups and community, to ensure the rich history, culture and heritage of Croydon is reflected in the detailed design.

Background:

The revised Masterplan includes:

• An increase to car parking spaces closer to Community Hub A/Croydon Library, including accessible parking bays
• Consolidation of Community Hub A and Children's Services Hub B into a larger integrated Community Wellbeing Hub. This will ensure ground floor placement and interconnection for the Croydon Library and accommodates a variety of new and existing community groups/organisations
• Enhanced connection between the larger Hub/Croydon Library, existing duck pond, new open space and new carparking
• Proposed development sites retained, with one proposed for a mixed use development partnership opportunity that is in line with wellbeing - no sale of Council land
• Proposed retention and enhancement of the former Croydon Civic Service Centre for community use as a second wellbeing hub
• An increase in usable open space areas for performing arts, bands, music, dance, and a variety of community activities/events.
