Streets as Shared Spaces: Reclaim Hunter Lane
Submissions Close: 20/04/2022
The Streets as Shared Spaces Program is a grants funding program to support councils to test and pilot new and innovative ideas for streets as safe, shared public spaces.
Community Forum Meetings are a valuable opportunity for local residents to raise issues and gain feedback from their local Councillors.
The Meetings are also valuable to Council because direct and personalised information on current and topical matters can be conveyed to attending residents face to face, with sufficient explanation so complex issues are thoroughly explained.
