To enable 20-minute neighbourhoods to be developed effectively requires identifying where each neighbourhood is and the activity centre on which it will be centred.

This involves spatial thinking and the identification of neighbourhoods and the activity centres that will provide the foundations from which the community can grow and develop in terms of public and private infrastructure, thus providing greater capacity to deliver the Wyndham 2040 Vision.

It is also important to recognize that not all neighbourhoods or their activity centres are the same. Some are identified to support larger catchments of multiple neighbourhoods. The new approach proposed identifies these as critical locations for the future development of Wyndham. They are the key existing and proposed activity centres in Wyndham that will be central to the creation of Wyndham as a 20-minute city.

Just as there are several pulse points in our bodies that monitor our health and well-being, there are pulse points throughout Wyndham that are existing and future hubs of activity serving the surrounding residential neighbourhoods.

Our Draft Wyndham Plan includes seven Neighbourhood Pulses and two Village Pulses:

• Tarneit
• Riverdale
• Manor Lakes
• Mambourin
• Williams Landing
• Point Cook
• Point Cook South*
• Little River (Village Pulse)
• Werribee South (Village Pulse)

*Unlike other Neighbourhood Pulses, Point Cook South is identified as a smaller Neighbourhood Pulse. It has not yet been planned and is subject to a Precinct Structure Plan planning process that has not yet commenced. The size and scale of this Neighbourhood Pulse will be determined through the future process with community input.
