Thank you to everyone who participated in Round 1 of our community engagement for the Vermont East Shopping Centre Streetscape Upgrade. We appreciate the valuable feedback we received throughout the engagement either through the survey, email, phone or in person.

We heard your comments and have now made several updates to the concept design based on the community feedback we received.

Key changes to the updated concept plan include:

• Parking has been adjusted to 60 degree angled parking
  • 60-degree angled parking better matches existing conditions and community preferences.
  • 60-degree angled parking will result in the loss of 1 parking space
  • In Round 1, we proposed 90-degree parking. This design would have maintained the same number of car parking spaces, losing zero spaces.
  • Retaining the current 45-degree angled parking would result in the loss of 2 parking spaces.
  • Parking layouts allow a new accessible car-parking space and crossing point.
    
• The central footpath extension has been reduced in size to provide more open space for landscaping.
• The area will now feature garden beds, tree planting and two benches, instead of the previously proposed outdoor dining tables.
