Neighbourhood Commons

ARE GATHERING SPACES IN COMMUNITY’S WHICH FORM OR CREATE ACTIVITIES THAT CULTIVATE AND IMPACT A COMMUNITY’S SHARED LIFE

Spruhan Ave

Spruhan Av is our oldest and most established commons site. Initially built to house the Norlane Baptist Church in the 1930’s, Spruhan Av was adopted by Urban Seed Norlane (now NCI) in the early 2000’s as a gathering space for those in the local community.

Today, Spruhan Ave is undergoing a makeover to transform the historic into a purpose built Neighbourhood Hub. Our plans for the hub include -

  • An Urban Farm

  • Community Kitchen

  • Dining Hall

  • Community Cafe

  • Kids Play Area

  • Makers Space

  • Co-Working Office

It is anticipated the Spruhan Ave Neighbourhood Hub will begin development in 2022. Many thanks to our partners and supporters who are helping realise this dream. Particular thanks goes, Select Architects, Bisinella Developments, Cardno/TGM, Novo Planning, BSA Building Surveyors, ZeroC Architects, QC Chris Wren, Minter Ellison, Hamlan Homes, Percy Baxter Foundations Wellam Construction and the Baptist Union of Victoria.
