The proposals range from small scale change such as the introduction of murals through to large scale changes such as the upgrade of the public realm. They also range from community led to Council led projects. The placemaking team and the community would like to understand which of these proposals form the top priorities for the area.
Project Information Purpose Many ideas and proposals have emerged as part of the placemaking work that commenced in January 2014. This is an opportunity to identify what proposals are the top priorities for the area. Background What is Placemaking? Placemaking aims to create great places with people, places that are vibrant and boast a strong sense of community ownership that are sustained by strong place attachment. Adelaide City Council adopted a Placemaking Strategy in December 2013. The strategy provides the overarching framework to support the creation of One City, Many Places. The aim of our Placemaking approach is to achieve: - Unique districts and places across the City - Empowered communities and strong partnerships; and - Development of the council as a best practice organisation to better respond to placemaking initiatives The strategy provides a framework in which businesses and residents can trial ideas, before making permanent changes. It allows people to see streets in a new light and from a different perspective. Change can be as simple as some new seating for people to meet and relax or it could involve a redevelopment of a site within the City. The success of placemaking hinges on the involvement of the people who make up the place with Council acting as a facilitator, enabler and co-creator with the community. What is a Place Pilot? has been designated as a place pilot and provides the opportunity to test and trail the placemaking approach at a street level. The intention of the place pilot is to co-create a vision for the place with those people who know it best, develop actions to transform and enhance the place and recommend future place governance models. Benefits of the project In understanding what the priorities are for the Topham Mall, Bentham, Pitt and Waymouth Street area it informs both Council and the community where investment should occur, what the partnership opportunities are and the areas further research and investigation are required. Project Impacts These priorities will be presented to Council as part of the Topham Mall, Bentham Pitt and Waymouth Street in September 2015. Once the priorities are better understood it allows for discussions on how proposals could be undertaken and funded. The type and scale of proposal will determine this approach as proposals relate to both the public and private realm.
