What We Heard: Engagement on Top of The Spit Precinct Plan

/in , , /by

Community and key stakeholder engagement was undertaken in 2023 to gather feedback on the Top of The Spit Precinct Plan.

The aim of the engagement was to inform and consult with a broad range of people about The Spit Master Plan outcomes. It also sought to obtain feedback on the proposal for greater connectivity, improved amenity, and enriched vibrancy of the public domain.

These engagement activities generated considerable interest with 941 pieces of feedback. The feedback centred around the following topics:

  • Retention of car parking along the ring road, immediately west of the round-a-bout
  • Access to the (middle) Emergency Access Stairs
  • Support for bus stop and for EV charging (located closer to Kiosk/SBS for security)
  • Limited support for future children’s play area
  • More shade / leave as natural as possible.

The full report can be viewed HERE.

We thank the community and key stakeholders for taking the time to provide such valuable feedback. It is fundamental in shaping the future experiences for this parkland of regional significance.

Any damaged or missing aids to navigation such as beacons, buoys, markers or signs, should be reported as soon as possible on
07 5539 7350
