Golden Plains Shire had identified the rural townships of Rokewood, Haddon, Meredith and Teesdale for upgrades to streetscapes and PM&A brought together a consultant team to undertake a consultation program and deliver Streetscape Masterplans for each community.

The project team included well-known placemaker and urbanist David Egwicht of Creative Communities (consultation lead), Social Plannner Carmel Boyce (engagement), Kevin Flynn (civil & traffic engineer) and Kathy Timmins (CT Management, project director).

The engagement strategy and consultation process was commended by the community as being ‘most enjoyable, positive and productive’ and the prorities of each community were translated into on-the-ground projects delivered over the next two years.

Streetscape works focussed on practical improvements that encourage visitation as well as placemaking elements that reframe the street as the communitys’ home - taken literally in one case with the installation of ‘Aunty Meredith’s Couch’ along with footstool and bookshelves) by local artist Mark Cuthbertson.
