Objective 4.1 of the City's Local Planning Strategy (2020) identifies investigating changes to the streetscape of Nicholson Road and Onslow Road to improve the existing pedestrian environment and consider future transport infrastructure upgrades as an action to support local Activity Centres.

In addition to recent works and programs in and around Shenton Park including upgrades to Rosalie Park and the forthcoming Shenton Park Community Centre refurbishment, the City is now seeking community input on opportunities in key streetscape areas along Onslow and Nicholson Roads.

Residents, businesses and visitors have valuable insights into Shenton Park's public space, and the City wants to hear your thoughts.

Engagement opportunities are available via:

• An online survey: available from Have Your Say from 31 January 2025 to 21 February 2025.
• A listening post at Shenton Park Community Centre, room 4.
  • Tuesday 4 February, 7:30am to 11:30am.

The listening post will follow a 'pop in' format, where you'll be able to preview early explorations of opportunities for the area, and share your thoughts over a coffee. An invitation for the event can be viewed here.

Recent work in Shenton Park

The City has recently undertaken a number of community upgrades and programs in Shenton Park including:

• Sunsets@Subi concert series at Lake Jualbup,
• Christmas concert series at Lake Jualbup, and festive decorations,
• Artform launch at The Orangery Gallery,
• VR gaming session and Yirra Yaakin children's show at the Shenton Park Community Centre,
• Safe Active Streets and Blackspot traffic calming initiatives,
• Upgrades to play and sport facilities at Rosalie Park, including public art by Olive Cheng, and
• Installation of Rosalie Park pump track.

Additionally, the Shenton Park Community Centre will soon be upgraded to renew, reconfigure and reimagine the vibrant community space. Following the recent traffic calming initiatives in Shenton Park, Keightley Road and Excelsior Street will also receive safety upgrades in 2025 as part of the Department of Transport Safe Active Streets program.
