Key themes from Civic Precinct feedback so far

Thank you to everyone who has shared their feedback on the proposed design for the City of Subiaco’s new civic building and gardens so far.

We’ve noticed a number of key themes emerging, including:
  • Road safety and walkability – there’s a strong interest in making the surrounding streets more pedestrian-friendly, particularly for those moving through the precinct day-to-day.
  • More greenery, less hardscaping - the community has expressed a strong preference for generous lawn areas and retaining as much existing greenery as possible.
  • The roses – the presence of the roses holds sentimental value for some members of the community.
  • Plentiful seating - ensuring the gardens remain comfortable, accessible and welcoming for all ages is a clear community priority.
 
The redevelopment of the Civic Precinct is a unique opportunity to create a contemporary, welcoming and enduring space that will serve the community for the next 50 to 100 years and your feedback is invaluable to help shape it.
