Port Phillip is home to over 220 community groups and not for profit organisations.
Community members use facilities and spaces to connect using sport, art, learning, health or social connections to improve their quality of life. This community infrastructure is the fabric that binds the community and now is the opportunity to think about what it could be like in the future.
Help Shape the Future of Community Infrastructure in Port Phillip
Our Port Phillip community is changing, nearly 150,000 more people are expected to call Port Phillip home by 2036. This means our community infrastructure such as libraries and community centres will need to work even harder for everyone.
We want to hear from you!
From Monday 6 October to Sunday 2 November 2025, we’re inviting you to share your ideas and feedback to help shape the future of community infrastructure in Port Phillip.
Tell us what matters to you through the Have Your Say page below, your input will help guide how Council plans, manages, and delivers the spaces and services that bring our community together.
What is community infrastructure?
It includes the buildings, spaces, and services that support the social, cultural, educational, and recreational needs of our growing population. These can be provided by government, not-for-profit, or private organisations, and may include:
- Libraries and multipurpose community spaces
- Arts and cultural venues
- Community health facilities
- Neighbourhood houses
- Early years services such as kindergartens, maternal and child health, and toy libraries
Council plays a key role in planning, delivering, and managing this infrastructure to meet the needs of our community.
Why is the CIP important?
As our population grows and changes, demand for community infrastructure increases. The CIP will help ensure future investments are aligned with community needs and priorities—so we can continue to support a connected, inclusive, and thriving Port Phillip.
