Macartney Street / Old Home Hardware Site Revitalisation

The Town Team Movement completed engagement surveys, workshops, on-site activities and school sessions to get your thoughts on the future of the Old Home Hardware/Macartney Street site. Here are the consistent themes from your input:

· Trees, greenery and shade as top priorities
· Seating and social spaces (both shaded and open)
· Connectivity between Avon Terrace and Avon Park
· Flexible community use (markets, events, youth spaces, cultural expression)
