Diamond Creek Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan

The Diamond Creek Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan was adopted, with minor changes, at the Council meeting 22 November 2022.

At the meeting, Council resolved among other matters:

That Council:

1. Adopts the Diamond Creek Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan as a formative product in the planning of community infrastructure in Diamond Creek, to inform a master plan and master planning related work that are subject to Council project budget and/or grant funding for their completion, subject to the following changes:

a. Identify the Elizabeth Street skate park replacement needs to be delivered as part of, or prior to, delivery of the Aquatic, Health and Fitness Centre component of the Diamond Creek Community Infrastructure Master Plan;

b. Provide an option for the inclusion of the Maternal and Child Health Centre in the community hub; and

c. Update to identify the community hub as a multi-level facility.

The adopted Diamond Creek Community Infrastructure Strategic Plan has been prepared as an early step in a broader master plan project aimed at providing long-term direction for the delivery of community infrastructure in Diamond Creek.

The strategic plan identifies ‘what’, ‘where’ and ‘how’ infrastructure could be provided to meet the future needs of the Diamond Creek community as well as the wider communities of the Shire that the township serves.

The adoption of the strategic plan by Council completes the first phase of the master plan project.

The strategic plan will, subject to further Council project funding, inform the preparation of a master plan that will confirm the technical requirements of community infrastructure proposed in the strategic plan, including design and costs, and establish priorities for delivery.
