Consultation has concluded

Background

In 2019 the City worked with local urban design and architecture firm EEKOS to develop the draft Morley Activity Centre Streetscape Plan (‘Plan’). To understand some of the Morley’s priorities the City hosted three focus groups with residents and businesses within Morley who told us their aspirations for Morley, and their ideas on palette options (street furniture, lighting, bins, planting, trees, paving etc.) and streetscape design.

At its Ordinary Meeting held on 23 July 2019, Council approved the draft Morley Activity Centre Streetscape Plan to be advertised for public comment. Subsequently the community were invited to complete a survey to collect their feedback.

Community Engagement

Morley residents, businesses and property owners provided feedback on some of the key aspects of the draft Plan. The survey results are available to view here. They informed the final Plan and further implementation, which was presented to Council in March 2020. View the council report and minutes here.

Final Report

At its Ordinary Meeting held on 24 March 2020, Council adopted the final Morley Activity Centre Streetscape Plan (July 2019) subject to a number of modifications, see minutes for details.

Due to the uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic at the time, the funding allocation of $300,000 to undertake the detailed design work was not included in the 2020/21 budget.

At its Special Meeting held on 30 June 2021, Council adopted the 2021-22 budget, including a funding allocation of $150,000 towards the Morley Activity Centre Streetscape Plan – detailed design project. At this meeting, Council discussed options to fully fund design of all the relevant key streets within the Plan, and "requested the CEO to provide a report to Council at the July 2021 OCM identifying appropriate reserve funding or other project cost savings to fund an additional $125,000 towards the full detailed design for the Morley Streetscape Plan."

This report was delivered to Council at the July 2021 OCM, and can be viewed here.
