Melton council is calling on locals to help shape the identity of a new major community facility now under construction in Cobblebank.
The six-storey purpose-built centre has been designed to “grow and evolve alongside the needs of local community”.
The centre is also designed to include accessible and flexible areas to accommodate changing priorities as the region expands.
Construction began on the new hub in August, and is expected to be delivered by Kane Construction next year, but the future-forward facility can’t open without a name.
Locals are not only being asked to choose the name of the latest facility, but also give insight on the naming theme which best suits Cobblebank’s future community services building.
Council has provided four “naming themes” to guide residents, with themes relating to linking the name to place, recognition and use of traditional owners languages, gender equality and commemorative names, all in a bid to reflect the local area and its identity, honour indigenous heritage, promote inclusive representation and recognise people or events of significance.
Consultation opened closes on Monday 22 December afterwhich a shortlist of names will then be prepared before final community consultation takes place in early 2026.
