Ideas sought for Doveton’s new hub

-

City of Casey is surveying residents on how best to utilise the new $5.27 million Autumn Place Community Hub in Doveton.

The soon-to-open community space includes a kindergarten, maternal and child health services and a multi-purpose room, kitchen and courtyard.

Mayor Amanda Stapledon said the council wanted to hear from the community about what programs, activities and events could be run at the hub.

“Council wants to ensure this new community space meets the needs and expectations of local residents.”

She said the aim was for a dedicated hub for the community to “meet, learn, play, socialise, connect and express their culture”.

“I’d encourage resident to fill out the survey, so we can ensure this facility is valued and well-utilised by all those in the community.”

Casey has run pop-up survey sessions at Doveton Library and Autumn Place shopping strip.

Its online survey is open on its Casey Conversations website until 17 February.

The hub was jointly funded by the State Government ($3.6 million) and the council ($1.67 million).

It is due to open at the end of January.
