What are Better Places?
A new way of thinking.
Better Places is centred around adopting place-based thinking. Place-based design considers overall 'places' and how they look, feel and work together rather than individual 'pieces', and provides a new model for the way that Council designs and delivers projects.
Creating a shared vision that captures the values + aspirations of our community and can be used to guide future projects+ improvements
One of the common challenges that places face as they change and grow is that they often do not have a clear and shared vision as to what that change should look like and how to protect and enhance the things that make that place special. While the people that make up a community may have different and sometimes conflicting priorities about what they want to see happen, it is essential to establish a vision that can be used to help guide future changes and improvements.
