St Kilda Precinct Strategic Plan @ Have Your Say
Closes Sunday 28 March
If you’ve got 30 minutes to spare, share your ideas about St Kilda and the council plans.
But beware, it’s awash with Council jargon.
It’s directed at traders, business and property owners, and community groups – which explains why many of you may not be aware of the survey. Feedback received will be used to help Council establish the ‘why’ for future long-term planning work in the St Kilda precinct.
Have Your Say
Got a community interest question for council that deserves a public answer?
