A bit about us...
CFLLC is located approximately 4 kilometres to the north west of Epping town centre on Melbourne’s urban growth boundary (in the 'Aurora' housing estate). The Centre is a collaborated effort to place early infrastructure in a growing area, which anticipates up to 8,000 households and an increased population of 25,000 people to the area.
The concept of developing an early hub for community activities and services resulted from broad consultation undertaken in 2004. This research recognized the desire of residents to feel connected to their new community and foster its fledgling identity and sense of place.
The Centre includes a meeting room, program spaces, training areas, a community kitchen and garden.
The Centre is unique in that it also doubles as an eco-demonstration house, and is committed to showcasing sustainable design and behaviour
- The building design is innovative in its commitment to:
- Adopting environmentally sustainable design principles
- Identifying flexible design principles to adapt to multiple uses that change over time;
- Interactive design principles that promote inclusivity, involving community and connecting people;
- Durability and low lifecycle maintenance.
The development of the project reflects a long term collaboration between the local community, North East Neighbourhood House Network, the City of Whittlesea, Melbourne Citymission, The Hornery Institute and VicUrban. This partnership approach has been perpetuated through the establishment of an independent not-for-profit Incorporated Association initially governed by a group of founding partners. Over the next nest few years, the Incorporated Association will work to ensure the complete transition of governance to the local community
