Do you have a suggestion of a new facility or item that would improve your local park or street?

We would love to hear from you!

This tool allows you to make suggestions for improvements in open spaces that are important to you.

Simply select a pin and drag to the location on the map you want to add an idea to. Adda short comment to support your suggestion.

Other residents are then able to see all suggestions and indicate any that they support by ‘liking’ any of the pins.

All suggestions will be reviewed by Council each December and considered as part of the Annual Business Plan and Budget cycle, to see if they can be funded the following financial year. Residents will be updated if their suggestion is successful. Photos of successful projects will be added to this website.The map will be refreshed annually, opening from January to early December each year.

This initiative was launched in 2024/25. If you would like inspiration from projects that were submitted by residents through a similar project in the past, please click on the below link. This page will be updated with additional successful projects in the future.
