COMMUNITY CONSULTATION

The first community consultation session (Session 1) was held in November 2016. Taking on board feedback from Session 1, a second set of concept plans was completed and provided at a second community consultation session (Session 2) in June 2017. Further to the two community consultation sessions a feedback summary was collated to inform the finalisation of the Charlotte Street concept plans. With the final design of the wharf precinct tie-in to the waterfront determined in 2018, final concept plans are now completed.
