About your Community - what you've already told us

Thomastown – Our most culturally diverse community, more than half of Thomastown’s residents were born overseas. One in five residents are aged over 65 years, making it an ageing community. You've told us through previous consultation that feeling safe and secure in your neighbourhood is the most important thing. You also want better waste management practices, recycling and access to more public transport.

Lalor – This well-located precinct has a growing community of residents aged in their 70s and 80s but is also popular with young couples and families, many of whom were born overseas from countries including India, Iran and Iraq. You've told us through previous consultation that you value local shopping and being connected to neighbours. You want opportunities for more local events such as festivals and markets to build relationships and experience other cultures.

Epping – This vibrant precinct plays a critical role in the City of Whittlesea’s economy and will continue to attract investment into the future. You've told us through previous consultation that you value the natural environment and outdoor spaces. You want well maintained spaces to meet and exercise along with better footpaths and natural shade.
