The project is currently in Stage 1 engagement, which focuses on:
- sharing information about the project and past planning work
- highlighting previous engagement and Council decisions
- listening to community views, concerns and priorities
- gathering feedback to help guide any future concept development
Friends' parents and staff are encouraged to share their views by:
- completing the online survey
- registering for an online or in‑person information session with the project team
- sharing what you love about your community through a creative picture or short story.
You can find more details and information about the project on the Better Streets page on Your Say Hobart.
