Welcome
The City is preparing an Urban Design Framework (UDF) to guide future enhancements and development in the Pakington North Precinct to revitalise the area and help accommodate demand for new homes, retail, services and jobs. The UDF will consider how people use the streets and public spaces, how they will move about, how the local character will be preserved, and the use of future buildings and other places.
Community Panel
What will this involve?
The Community Panel will come together over six in-person sessions in early 2024. All sessions will be facilitated by Capire Consulting Group with the exception of Session 5 which will be led by the City. Participants will be expected to attend all sessions and engage in pre and post-activities such as pre-reading, responding to surveys or additional reading between sessions.
