Future Preston Central is the City of Darebin’s project to develop a plan for the revitalisation of Central Preston (the Preston High Street Activity Centre), with the aim of updating the Preston Central Structure Plan (2006). As the largest activity centre within the City, Preston will accommodate a significant proportion of the dwelling growth required to meet Darebin’s future housing needs.
Greenshoot engaged with a broad cross-section of the community and stakeholders, particularly harder to reach groups, using various methods to capture the diversity of views on the growth and development of the Preston Central Activity Centre. Through our engagement we also collected feedback on Council’s draft vision, strategic directions and Built Form Framework for Preston Central Activity Centre.
The findings of the engagement meaningful quantitative and qualitative data that helped shaped the outcomes for the project.
