At the Ordinary Meeting of Council in March 2025, Council resolved to establish an advisory group to support Council in the development of an Urban Design & Public Realm Asset Framework (Framework).
A Framework would establish a consistent suite of public realm furniture and design treatments for use within the Borough.
As a first step Council would like to establish an advisory group to collaborate with Council to:
develop the scope for the Framework, including
aims and purpose
assets for inclusion
development of a design language
prepare a project management plan for the development of the Framework, including:
recommendations for an engagement strategy
project budget
make recommendations to Council about next steps
The advisory group memberships will be drawn from residents and ratepayers with local knowledge and an existing interest in the urban character in the Borough
Applications are now open and will close on the 9th of May at 12pm.
Role of Advisory Group
The primary purpose of the advisory group will be to prepare a recommendation for Council on:
the value of developing a framework
the process to develop the framework
the scope of the framework
preferred format framework and exemplar documents
a project management plan and engagement strategy
resource investment and production of the framework
