Town Centre Revamp It’s Time To Have Your Say
LAST WEEK, Cassowary Coast Regional Council released the draft concept designs for the Mission Beach Town Centre Revitalisation Project and began talking with key stakeholders to gather feedback on the proposed design.
The design encapsulates the Mission Beach experience – where the rainforest meets the beach, and provides greater connection between Porter Promenade, the Village Green and Mission Beach foreshore. Whilst not final, the designs provide a vision as to how this space can come to life, increase tourism into our region and encourage future development from investors.
Driven by Council with the assistance of external consultants, C7EVEN, a number of stakeholder consultation sessions were held to talk through the concept designs in-depth, hear any of the questions and concerns stakeholders may have and record all feedback provided on the design. A number of one-on-one sessions were held with local businesses and property owners in the project area (Porter Promenade and Village Green), as well as a Community Drop-in Information Session which was held in the Village Green and was well attended by the local community.
Council also facilitated the first official meeting with the Community and Stakeholder Reference Group (CSRG), a group compiled of key stakeholder groups including business traders and operators, property owners, residents, community groups and the wider community. They will act as project champions and will use their local connections to gather further feedback on the design.
