Bonnie Doon Streetscape Engagement Result
The online survey hosted from 22 February to 8 March 2023 received 14 responses.
All options received generally positive responses, and some were clearly viewed more positively and as being more important than others.
Based on the results, Council plans to deliver the upgrades in the following priority order:
- Lawn irrigation system
- Shade sail
- Signage at well
- Mural walls
- Lighting and sculptures
- Fitness station
- Kids bike track
Lawn irrigation works near the Bonnie Doon War Memorial are planned to take place in the coming months. Other popular options identified during the consultation will be considered in future capital works planning.
Many additional suggestions and requests were made by respondents. These include:
- Parking at community centre
- Speed humps on Arnot Street
- Play equipment at Bon Crescent
- Cleaning of or mural decorations on the Great Victorian Rail Trail bridge
- Community facilities including for local events, providing an opportunity for locals to connect
- Community garden or regenerated bushland area
- Actions to address inappropriate behaviour in relation to rubbish and fire
- Information on local environment and history
- Mural decorations on the CFA building
- Public seating at Dawn Crescent
Council will further investigate the feasibility and benefits of additional suggestions and requests made by respondents regarding Bonnie Doon’s streetscape upgrades.
