Survey questions

1. Character is an important aspect of streetscape design, and through the initial phase of community consultation, we heard that you wanted a greener street with generous footpaths. The draft masterplan proposes that Bayley Street becomes a slower, more intimate, and greener street. Below is a typical plan and example of the proposed upgrades to Bayley Street, which shows additional tree planting between parking bays, new furniture and upgraded pavements where needed. Do you think we got it right?
2. Greening the street. 64% of Have Your Say participants said that more trees and landscaping was important to them. The draft masterplan proposes more than 25 (approx) trees be planted in Bayley Street bringing shade, growing the Urban Forest and providing many environmental benefits. Species will be selected using a mix of indigenous and native plants to create a greener, leafier street. New garden beds with diverse planting will help Geelong manage and clean water after rain events and bring seasonal colour and biodiversity to the street. Do you think the draft masterplan sets up Bayley Street to be the green street you envisaged?
3. Streetscape Components. We heard from you that you wanted improved footpaths, including pavement upgrades, new street furniture and lighting will create safe, welcoming environments for residents, workers, and visitors. Do you think the draft masterplan gets it right?
4. Heritage. We heard from you that the heritage of the area was important and needs to told in new ways. The draft masterplan envisages the new streetscape is an opportunity to share a range of stories from First Nations people to early settlers and industrial pioneers, through landscape design, public artwork, and interpretation. Do you think the draft masterplan gets it right?
5. The draft masterplan identifies Bayley Street as a quieter part of town which creates the opportunity for traffic calming through the introduction of a slow traffic zone. Do you think the draft masterplan get the balance right?
