Golden Plains Shire Council invites residents to provide feedback on the Northern Streetscapes Framework design development plans.
The Northern Streetscapes Framework Plan (Framework Plan) envisions beautification works to enhance the character of Smythesdale, Scarsdale and Linton – the three key town centres along the Glenelg Highway.
In August 2024, community input shaped the initial design concepts by identifying whether the Framework Plan aligned with local needs and aspirations.
Council is now seeking feedback to ensure the current designs reflect the community’s priorities.
Residents are encouraged to participate in the consultation process by attending an in-person session on Monday 9 December from 10am to 12pm at The Well, 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale. Alternatively, those unable to attend can provide feedback via an online survey. Registrations are required for the in-person session.
Golden Plains Shire Council CEO Shane Walden encourages community members to review the design development plans.
Thank you to everyone who contributed during the August consultation process. Your feedback informed the detailed design development plans and has brought us closer to delivering this exciting project, Mr Walden said.
I encourage northern residents to attend the in-person session and share their thoughts to ensure the designs continue to reflect the community’s vision and priorities.
The Northern Streetscapes Project is funded by $650,000 from Council and $650,000 from Berrybank Wind Farm.
Feedback is welcome from Monday 25 November to 5pm, Friday 13 December 2024. Design development plans and further information are available online at goldenplains.vic.gov.au/consultations and at Council’s Customer Hubs, 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn, and 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale.
Following the consultation period, Council will refine the designs and develop detailed concept plans, with additional community engagement planned for early 2025.
