Craigieburn Residents Shape New Precinct Plan Before December 18 Deadline

Public submissions for the draft Craigieburn West Precinct Structure Plan are currently open until December 18. Residents may comment on the fast-tracked development plan through this process.

Hume City Council will launch a community consultation process for proposed suburb boundary changes in Craigieburn. The process invites residents to suggest names for potential new suburbs. These steps connect directly to how local services are organised and accessed in daily community life.

Consultation on Hospital Services

The Craigieburn Community Hospital project includes a Community Consultation Committee chaired by MP Ros Spence. The committee helps locals shape the services for the new flagship facility. Residents can provide input on what community services the hospital will deliver, which affects access to health care for families and individuals in the area.

Traffic and Development Links to Services

Traffic improvement studies for Campbellfield and Roxburgh Park East, areas bounded by the Craigieburn train line, have sought community input. Consultation for these areas closed in March 2024. An earlier Craigieburn Town Centre Local Area Traffic Management study concluded in September 2021, with feedback focused on traffic, pedestrian and parking issues. These reviews influence how residents reach community services and move between neighbourhoods.

The open submissions period and upcoming boundary consultation give residents direct avenues to address how development and administrative changes intersect with everyday needs such as health services and local connectivity. The government says the processes will inform planning decisions that shape service delivery in Craigieburn.

Next steps include continued receipt of submissions on the precinct plan through the December 18 deadline and the scheduled launch of the suburb boundary consultation by the council. Residents can use these channels to contribute views on matters that determine the location and type of community services available locally.
