The City in partnership with key community stakeholders and the local community, is undertaking a project to shape the future of the Whittington Link social infrastructure.

A Concept Design Plan for a multi-purpose community hub to serve the Whittington community will be developed based on community and stakeholder feedback.

Whittington Link is a significant public space for the residents of Whittington and is currently home to a range of community services operating from a number of stand-alone community facilities that are nearing the end of their useful life. We have an opportunity to work together to reimagine a facility for the Whittington community.

We want to partner with stakeholders and the local community to develop a concept design for an integrated community hub to accommodate:

• Bellarine Living and Learning Centre (Neighbourhood House),
• Apollo Place Preschool,
• Whittington - City Leaning & Care,
• Youth programs,
• Community activities, and
• Create improved connection with the Whittington Primary School and the Whittington Link open space.

The community survey is the first stage of engagement. It will help us understand current visitation to Whittington Link, and your priorities and ideas for the area into the future. If you would like to participate in future engagement opportunities, please follow the page for updates.

This project is to confirm the vision for the future of the Whittington Hub through development of concept options. Timing and delivery of a future Whittington Family and Community Hub is not confirmed. There is currently no funding allocated to the construction of the Hub.
