Brimbank Council has adopted the Alfrieda Street Public Realm Master Plan to guide the future planning, design, maintenance and associated budget allocation for the development of Alfrieda Street, St Albans.

The Master Plan sets out the community’s vision for the transformation of Alfrieda Street’s public realm into a greener, safer and better-connected urban environment. This strategic document outlines the transformation of Alfrieda Street over the next decade underpinned by sustainability principles and community-focused urban design.

Sustainable growth, enhanced liveability, the protection of heritage and neighbourhood character, and responding to the need for more affordable housing is part of Brimbank’s strategy to meet its housing needs into the next 20 years.

Council adopted the Brimbank Housing and Neighbourhood Character Strategy at its April 2024 Council Meeting.

The strategy sets a vision for how Council should plan for at least an additional 34,000 residents and 14,000 dwellings by 2041.
