Melton council is seeking feedback on designs for a new Diggers Rest Children’s and Community Centre.

The modern space is being built to support the growing needs of the Diggers Rest community, and will include kindergarten facilities, maternal and child health services, and a library lounge which will be the first of its kind in the municipality.

The Diggers Rest community is invited to have their say and help shape this new space for the community, with ideas sought to help influence the services and features offered in the new library lounge.

The community can leave feedback on how they might like to use the library lounge, what sort of programs that would be included like book clubs, craft or hobby groups, early years programs, or community information sessions on topics like health or housing.

You can also have your say on the concept designs for the site and its design.

Community consultation on the project is open now, and will close on 8 February. Feedback will be considered as part of the final plans for construction, which is subject to take place between August 2026 and August 2027, before the Diggers Rest Children’s and Community Centre is set to open in January 2028.
