Growing together: Building spaces for Monash families
Monash is growing, and so are the needs of our children, young people and families.
We’re developing a 10-year Children, Youth, and Family Services Infrastructure Plan to guide how we plan for, fund, build, and deliver spaces and services that support families. These include facilities for playgroups, kindergartens, maternal and child health, and youth services.
We want to hear from you about what you'd love to see in these spaces in the future. Your input is crucial to ensuring our Plan balances the needs and reflects the values of our community.
Join us in planning for the next generation and ensuring our community thrives in the next 10 years and beyond.
Find out more about the infrastructure plan in our 'frequently asked questions' section below.
