Community Committee
Community engagement is an important element of the project. The department has established a Community Committee for the renewal of the Preston site.
The committee is chaired by Kat Theophanous MP – State Member for Northcote.
The committee brings together important community members and representatives of local organisations to provide advice on the redevelopment of the site. It enables ongoing and two-way feedback through participation with the community and the stakeholders.
Members of the committee provide advice and feedback on redevelopment plans and identify local issues and matters of concern as they arise.
Committee members will communicate the progress of the redevelopment back to their communities to support the successful delivery of the project.
