Have your say on Mackay City Centre public realm improvements

Mackay Regional Council is seeking your input on the Draft Mackay City Centre Concept.

Economic Development portfolio councillor David Perkins said the Draft City Centre Concept is a strategic document offering a conceptual design framework for public areas within the City Centre.

“The draft concept plan suggests a number of ‘ready-to-go’ catalyst projects as the initial building blocks to achieving the City Centre vision,” he said.

“The catalyst projects cover the City Core, interactive signage, active facades and urban street typologies; Old Town Hall and a Civic Precinct revamp to offer a new urban parkland for the community.

“These projects combine to ensure that Mackay moves towards an active, liveable, accessible, culturally vibrant and attractive City Centre. “

A key role for this project is to attract funding for public realm improvements.

“In order for the concept plan to come to fruition, we need funding and the public’s involvement.”

“Improving the public places and streetscapes within our Mackay City Centre offers our community the benefits of a modern CBD, while ensuring the physical environment keeps pace with business activity and community needs and aspirations.

“The draft concept plan is about giving back to the community a public realm that fits a thriving centre.”

Members of the public are encouraged to have their say on the draft concept plan by visiting Connecting Mackay.

“An opportunity is available to have your say on the draft Concept Plan including how you see the priorities for the catalyst projects,” he said.

“Mackay Regional Council urges you to have your say before Friday, February 17.”
