Broadmeadows locals are set to benefit from a major new initiative aimed at transforming the area into a thriving urban hub, with the official launch of the Broadmeadows Precinct Roadmap on Wednesday, August 6.
The launch was marked with a welcome to country by Wurundjeri Elder Perry Wandin, followed by a community celebration at Banksia gardens Community Services.
Led by Hume Council in partnership with local organisations, government, and businesses, the roadmap is a critical step in the Broadmeadows revitalisation project.
The project has received more than $3.3 million in funding from the federal government through the Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program. This national program supports urban renewal efforts by bringing together multiple sectors to strengthen local economies and improve community outcomes.
Mayor Jarrod Bell said it was a proud moment for Broadmeadows and for Hume.
“We thank the Australian Government for recognising the importance of this project and supporting the shared vision of this partnership,” Cr Bell said.
The Precinct Roadmap will help guide future development in Broadmeadows, with a focus on key community priorities in improving access to quality education, supporting the growth of local businesses, creating more housing, and increasing local employment opportunities.
Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung representatives said they are proud to contribute to revitalising Broadmeadows for current and future generations. “
This project is an opportunity to not only improve the area but to ensure it respectfully honours Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung culture and our country.”
