Setting the scene

The Neighbourhood Renewal project in Broadmeadows began in 2003 and will continue until 2011. 



Neighbourhood Renewal is encouraging participation

A number of resident working groups have been established to look at key issues affecting the Broadmeadows community. Brainstorming sessions are often held to canvass issues and develop possible solutions. In this way residents are given the opportunity to be directly involved in decisions concerning the planning and implementation of local projects.
