What is a shared community hub?

A shared community hub is an example of a place-based approach to social infrastructure.

Community hubs enable community members to access resources and services in a single location by clustering community facilities and integrating services.

They are collaboratively planned and designed to:

» improve community access to services

» involve services directly relevant to that community

» maximise shared investment outcomes for providers

» generate greater social benefit.
