Public Realm, placemaking and connectivity improvements

Movement patterns, legibility of the streetscapes and connectivity between high activity nodes and proposed precincts have been reviewed to inform public realm, wayfinding, and connectivity recommendations for both townships.

A business case and concept design are underway for the first of these projects– the Finch Hatton streetscape revitalisation.

A concept streetscape design has been prepared for community consultation and targeted stakeholder workshops planned for the latter half of 2023. Invitations to these sessions will be issued via email.  

For further information about the project please see Pages 12 to16 of the Planning Intent information pamphlet.
