Macmillan Precinct Redevelopment Project

Overview

Since 2001, Macmillan Precinct has been identified as a potential centre or hub for the Town. In 2018, Council approved the project business case option to prepare a masterplan to guide the future of the precinct.

The Macmillan Precinct Redevelopment Project will be delivered in six stages. See below for more information about each stage.

Why a redevelopment?

Findings from the Town’s 2018 Building Condition Assessments for the precinct identified emerging challenges which will require significant renewal and investment over the coming decades, including:

• Ageing community service facilities, including the Library and Leisurelife
• Poor accessibility to accommodate all community members at the facilities
• Shortage of space to deliver modern community services for a growing population
• Concerns for safety and activity around the precinct

To address these challenges, we are working closely with local clubs, groups and residents to collaboratively shape a masterplan to guide the long-term use of the precinct.

The Macmillan Precinct Redevelopment Project is now underway, working towards providing the community with opportunities to access, enjoy and use state-of-the-art facilities, enhanced green space and a vibrant destination.
