Community A Consultative Approach to Creating a Place for All.

Every voice is important as The Valley of Tomorrow takes shape.

To deliver a precinct that integrates into the urban fabric of Moonee Valley and enhances the local area for residents requires collaboration.

Throughout the life of this project, community input will be sought and valued in order to deliver the best possible outcomes for the local area.

With the planning framework approved, of particular importance over the remainder of the project will be locals’ views and priorities on which services and lifestyle assets will bring added value to the area.

Community Reference Group

The Valley of Tomorrow Community Reference Group was formed in 2018 to involve the community in the project’s vision and understand local priorities while shaping the precinct.

It aims to create a dialogue between the development team and key residents and representatives of the local community.

Meeting quarterly, it provides members with the ability to learn more about the evolving vision for the site and inform the developers decision making on proposed elements.

It brings together people from a cross-section of the Moonee Valley community, including government stakeholders, traders and local residents, who together provide representation on behalf of the wider community.
