The recommendations of the Corio Norlane Community Services Infrastructure Plan aim
to provide the City of Greater Geelong with a clear direction in terms of potential
expenditure in regards to Community Services Infrastructure in the local area. The Plan
takes a longer term view of 10 – 15 years and informs long term resource planning.
The Plan will also enable the consolidation of facilities in precincts and the development
of flexible multi-functional hubs.
Implementation of the Plan will need to be done taking into consideration other priorities
across the municipality and will be subject to ongoing budgetary and strategic review.
Funding for Community Services Infrastructure will be focused on seven key pieces of
infrastructure:
• Cloverdale Community Centre (Note: a draft Concept Plan for Cloverdale
Community Centre 2010 has been prepared by DLA for the City of Greater
Geelong).
• Rosewall Neighbourhood House.
• Family hubs at North Shore, Corio West, Hendy Street and Evans Reserve.
• Future development of central community infrastructure such as the library in
conjunction with development of the town centre in Corio.
