What is placemaking?

Placemaking is a hands-on approach to creating places for the health and wellbeing of our community. It involves re-imagining spaces to create vibrant, memorable and social places where people feel a sense of belonging.

Our placemaking projects will develop a shared vision for a particular place. We’ll explore the history and special memories associated with a place and aim to enhance those existing qualities to strengthen the relationship between people and place.

Working closely with our community, we will follow these guiding principles:

• Listen to the community
• Collaborate with the community and key stakeholders
• Create a culture of possibilities
• Celebrate what makes a place unique
• Be future focused
• Start by doing.
