Consultation has concluded

Stirling Lawns Masterplan | Community Engagement Hub (ahc.sa.gov.au)

Many thanks for your contribution to the community consultation and the project so far.

What has become clear from the engagements undertaken to date is how important this whole site is as a central civic space for the Stirling community and beyond. So we are taking a whole of site approach. As part of this we have sought expressions of interests from local resident/ business group that will be part of the project. The group will be made up of a balance of ages, gender and businesses/ residents.

Much of the feedback received as part of the last round of the consultation was about the whole space and how it functions. You told us that creating a space to enjoy into the future by having a flexible, functioning open space is important. For example, some of the feedback from community members asked that Council pay attention to:

  • historical issues
  • cost
  • support for Aboriginal acknowledgement
  • value and importance of disability access
  • the need for the Rotunda to accommodate multiple uses and needs, be flexible, functional and versatile
  • the need for the site to accommodate a performance and event space
  • the need for the space to be usable by all ages including youth and children
  • the need for the site to accommodate more than one group at a time
  • the importance of retention of the lawned area and library lawn space, and
  • if budget allows, extra seating, bbq’s picnic tables, trees and repair of drainage issues.
