The Maitland Park Green Connect Project is a 100% federally funded design project that aims to redesign the streets and public space in and around Maitland Park — improving safety for the 3,000+ students, staff and community members who use the precinct every day, easing traffic congestion, and transforming an underused park into a shaded, climate-resilient community hub.

This survey asks for your feedback on the Maitland Park Concept Design and two proposed streetscape scenarios. Your feedback will help inform Council's decision-making on the next stage of design. No commitment has been made by Council to fund construction works associated with this project.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. More information on the project including frequently asked questions is available on the City's website here.

The deadline to submit this survey is 9am on Monday 10 August 2026.

The Challenge

There are five schools located around Maitland Park: Geraldton Primary School, Holland Street School, St Francis Xavier Primary School, Geraldton Senior High School and Nagle Catholic College. Similar start and finish times, insufficient parking and limited student drop-off facilities have resulted in traffic congestion during school pick-up and drop-off times — congestion that is expected to worsen as enrolments grow.

Aside from the safety issue, the park offers limited amenity, shade, or biodiversity. While much-loved, it is an underutilised asset which offers significant potential for exploration, social interaction, community connection and activation.
