The large group of youngsters require activities and facilities in the area now, such as parks, playgrounds, and pools, as well as future planning for recreational activities for their teen years, Mr Sheedy said.
"The swimming pool is a classic example. We have one we provide for the school, covered and heated. It is heavily subscribed. We couldn't keep up with the demand. It's about that sense of community."
He said the community facilities provided a place for new residents to meet other people.
"We noticed in the last three to four years families from many other cultures. Social amenities draw people together. Resources such as a swimming pool for now would not just benefit swimming but the community."
He said playgrounds provide children with social interaction outside their usual groups.
"It gives them a chance to connect with kids they wouldn't normally see, communication - we see that in our playground."
Though there are facilities such as the well-used school hall and churches, they do not keep up with demand in the rapidly growing area.
"Many of our families come from different places, a steady stream of people from Auckland. I think the number of migrant families coming into the city has to be looked after."
Hamilton City councillor Garry Mallet believes Mr Sheedy's concerns are valid.
"I know we are in discussions with the education department to try and leverage off their investment out there. We are trying to be strategic in the way we use our money and hopefully if we can partner up."
He said the competing demand from other growth areas in the city such as Rotokauri, Peacockes Rd, and the Ruakura inland port, means spend must be balanced.
He said the discussion about the portion of rates gathered from the area means more should be spent in the area is valid, but shows issues with rating systems based on property value.
"Property values have very little to do with how much you actually use. If you paid for things as you used them, you'd find there would be a lot of money that came in that didn't come in from land. It would be citizens of the city paying for those things as a user."
Large investment has been made into core infrastructure in the north of the city over recent years such as water.
"Storm water systems, and even the roads out at Rototuna, have put huge pressure on our water system, our sewage ... we are now looking at significant infrastructure to maintain those things."
Chairperson of the community hub Diana Wood said there was a sense of frustration during the meeting that swimming facilities had been deferred into the 2020s, as well as the deferral of skate parks.
The previous trustees handed the trust over to five new Hamilton north residents who want to see a sense of community, creating a 'hub' for people to find out about events and community activities.
"The new team wants to focus on finding out what would make this rapidly growing area an even better place for our residents," Ms Wood said.
"I was really inspired by the idea that we could have a local body that was inspired by this area. We're very committed to making something happen."
She said one of the issues raised at a public meeting at Te Totara School at the end of 2014, was people weren't aware of what was happening in the community. Ms Wood said the trust will act like the core, with liaison people within the community acting as the spokes.
"We would like to have a team of liaison trustees representing the interests of diverse groups - young families, seniors, immigrant groups, those with disabilities, people who are keen to set up arts and cultural activities in the area, service groups and those who are interested in sporting activities, for example," Ms Wood said.
She said the aim is to make the community a better place over all and bring people together, particularly for those who may have just moved to the area or feel isolated.
