A city for people – Wollongong City Council Online Survey

Surveywww.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/psplsurvey

Did you know that Wollongong City Council has been partnered with internationally renowned  Gehl Architects to study how people use public spaces in the Wollongong City Centre?

So far, we have gathered important insights about where people walk, where they choose to spend time and what they would like the City to be in the future.

Our draft report ‘A city for people’ shares a Vision for the future of the city and six projects for improving public space in our City.

We’d would like to hear your thoughts!

As part of our community engagement for ‘A City for People –public spaces public life’, we have put together an online survey to get feedback on our document and also to hear the communities ideas! There are 9 questions in total and it shouldn’t  take you more than 5 minutes. Each response will act as a formal submission, and puts you into the draw to win one of five $100 gift vouchers!

It would be awesome if you could forward this to anybody (friends and family) you think would be interested in sharing their ideas for the future of the City Centre. We recognise the greatest catalyst for change comes from the community voicing their opinions and sharing all their great ideas!

Thank you for helping out  and contributing to the great city we live in. To complete the survey follow the link below;

The survey is open until Friday 11 March 2016.
