Consultation has concluded

Wollongong City Council has engaged WSP Consultants to prepare a Community Needs Assessment for Planning Area 7.

Area 7 includes the suburbs of Cordeaux Heights, Farmborough Heights, Figtree, Kembla Grange*, Kembla Heights, Mount Kembla, and Unanderra (refer to the map below).

* Community needs/ social infrastructure gaps for Kembla Grange have been considered in planning for the West Dapto Area, completed by Ethos Urban in July 2022. It was noted that the planned Darkes Town Community Centre will provide for the future population of Kembla Grange.

What we are seeking to understand:

The Community Needs Assessment explores existing needs for community facilities and what future requirements might look like. It specifically focuses on the following facilities:

  • Kembla Heights Community Hall.
  • Figtree Community Hall.
  • Unanderra Community Centre.
  • Unanderra Library.

These are well utilised by the community, with some older facilities having limited functionality to respond to community needs. The Assessment will identify possible solutions for Planning Area 7 to ensure that the community has access to the right type of facilities in the future.
