Community engagement helps us to plan and make better decisions.
Here’s a quick update on some of the topics we recently sought feedback about.
Kardinia Park Master Plan
We invited the local community to suggest ideas that will help Kardinia Park retain its position as a premier sport and recreation destination.
We received strong interest in this project and the feedback received will inform the development of a master plan for the precinct.
Once the draft plan is complete, user groups, key stakeholders and the community will be invited to comment on the recommendations.
The final plan will then be presented to Council for its consideration in late 2023.
A conversation about 26 January
A big thanks to everyone who participated in the conversation about 26 January, which is celebrated as Australia Day.
We received a very strong response to this engagement.
Of the 957 survey responses received, 447 contributions were from First Nations People. This is the largest response from the First Nations community we’ve ever had on one issue.
We have reviewed the feedback and will use it to make recommendations to Council about future activities and commemorations on 26 January.
