Ed.Square wins community award for Planning Excellence

Ed.Square recently won an award for Community Wellbeing & Diversity at the Planning Institute of Australia's Awards for Planning Excellence – a testament to Frasers Property Australia’s belief in creating places where people truly belong. By addressing the pressing national health crisis of loneliness and social isolation, Ed.Square is a beacon of resilience and community spirit.

The award-winning development goes beyond traditional placemaking, focusing on wellbeing and diversity to foster a thriving community. The community’s resident-led approach empowers locals to co-design and lead initiatives, embedding their talents and ideas into the very fabric of the neighbourhood. This not only builds capacity but also ensures a sustainable model where residents drive ongoing activities, creating a positive and enduring legacy.

From youth mental health workshops to cultural celebrations, Ed.Square offers diverse, inclusive programs that enhance wellbeing and foster pride and belonging. With dedicated Community Development Managers, authentic engagement and cultural sensitivity are key drivers of the community’s programs.

Ed.Square has several strategic partnerships in place to ensure a strong and well-connected community, including Headspace, local businesses and Council and Multicultural Health.
