THE Churchill Town Centre Plan sets the vision for how the community wants the Churchill Town Centre to look and feel over the next 15 years.

Latrobe City Council is seeking input into how Churchill’s Town Centre is planned, and is asking the community to share its experiences. Feedback received will help to shape the Churchill Town Centre Plan.

People can share their experiences in the Churchill Town Centre via an online map, where they can pin locations and share photos and comments.

People can also complete an online survey which provides details on how the community can access the centre of town, how they feel about the town centre and the reasons for their visits.

Community listening posts are planned for this month in Churchill, and a community engagement session will be held online and in person tomorrow (August 14).

Latrobe City Council Mayor, Dale Harriman said this is an important piece of work to help shape the future of Churchill Town Centre.

“Council wants to ensure that any plans for Churchill Town Centre are reflective of the aspirations and needs of the local community,” the Mayor said.

“By providing your feedback, we can note common themes in responses and identify opportunities that should be included in the Churchill Town Centre Plan.”

After a long, drawn out saga, council approved construction of public toilets in the town’s centre at this year’s April council meeting.

People can access the online map and survey through council’s engagement platform, Have Your Say Latrobe City: yoursay.latrobe.vic.gov.au/churchill-town-centre-plan

Feedback will be accepted until 5pm Friday, September 12, 2025.
