Macedon Square Concept Plan - Community Information Session 2

Are you a community member or trader with a connection to Macedon Square? Please join us for a follow up evening session where we will all get a chance to further reconnect around the upgrades to Macedon Square.

Everyone is welcome, including those who didn't get a chance to attend the first information session.

Date: Thursday 6 October 2022

Time: 6:00pm-9:00pm

Location: Manningham Uniting Church & Community Centre109 Wood Street, Templestowe, VIC, 3106

Thank you to those who have already registered for this meeting. For those who haven’t, please register here or phone 9840 9416.

The aims of the session are:

• to check in on what we have heard already
• hear any further community concerns, questions and thoughts for the square upgrade,
• and provide a chance for us respond to questions raised and to seek agreement on the way forward.

Please note: There has been no progression of the concept plan and there have been no third-party contractors engaged to construct the earlier development works. In addition, there will be no plans shown on the night nor any decisions to be made about the upgrade plans. The intention is to plan a pathway forward for future discussions.

We acknowledge this time of day may not work for everyone, and will bear that in mind for future meetings. We hope to see you there.

Background

Manningham Council has been engaging with our local community about a concept plan for Macedon Square over many years.

We’ve listened to your feedback and are open to revisiting elements of the concept plan. We want to ensure it achieves a balanced outcome for all Macedon Square users.

To make sure we provide a fair and transparent process for feedback, we have engaged an external third party to facilitate a series of meetings with the community.

Our goal is to ensure that the traders and community have a say in the upgrade and that we can collectively find a way to improve safety and amenity of the area.

We held Meeting #1 on Wednesday 14 September 2022, 6:00pm-9:00pm

The purpose of this meeting was to reconnect and ensure all the community issues are understood.

Meeting #2 is now on Thursday 6 October 2022, 6:00pm-9:00pm

The purpose is to continue meeting #1 and discuss the steps going forward
