The City is seeking ideas from the community for opportunities to improve Labuan Square in Norlane.

City of Greater Geelong Council has allocated $250 000 for works in the small local shopping precinct and community members are invited to put forward their suggestions for improvements.

The City is working with local community organisation Norlane Community Initiatives and local stakeholders to look at opportunities for how the area could be improved.

Windermere Councillor Anthony Aitken said the Council was investing in the works to help revitalise the public space.

We are aware that less people are visiting Labuan Square which is impacting the appeal of the area.

With input from the community we are excited about reviving the square to make it a more valuable and appealing community space and encourage investment from landlords and businesses.

Jump on our website and fill in the survey to get involved in the concept design stage – we’d love to hear your ideas.

Fellow Windermere Councillor Kylie Grzybek also encouraged local community members to participate in the survey.

We need to hear from community members who will actually use this space what they want to see in it.

Community feedback will play a major role in developing a concept design for Labuan Square so don’t miss your opportunity to help design a public space that you will enjoy visiting.

We are excited about seeing Labuan Square return to being the bustling community space where locals enjoy shopping and meeting friends.

Community members are invited to fill in the survey as well as post stories videos or images on their vision for Labuan Square at www.yoursay.geelongaustralia.com.au/Labuan

The survey is open from Monday 3 May and closes at 4pm on Monday 31 May 2021.
