Social infrastructure and community needs assessments have been undertaken through community engagement processes and the application of secondary data to assess population profiles and projections. These assessments have been undertaken at the community scale for existing, new and future communities and have sought to identify a wide range of social infrastructure requirements for communities.
In addition, similar assessments have also been undertaken to assess community needs and requirements for specific social infrastructure services and facilities including for example libraries, community centres, skate parks and respite care centres.
