Group 2 Consent and Survey
Information for participants
What is this study about?
On Q is a Campbelltown City Council project that will test and trial new and innovative ideas to improve public spaces in Queen Street and Lithgow Street. Queen Street is at the heart of Campbelltown Central Business District (CBD). As Council continue to explore and test ideas for more permanent improvements to the local streets, paths and public spaces, they are seeking direct community engagement and feedback regarding perceptions and experiences of newly developed shared public spaces.
The aim of this study is to engage members of the public in evaluating the impacts of the On Q project in order to empower community members to contribute to ongoing improvement of this space and increase their sense of connection to the city centre. This study uses citizen science approaches, in which community members play an active role in gathering and making sense of data, documenting and evaluating why and how spaces are used.
