Have Your Say

The Hamilton CBD Streetscape Revitalisation Project is set to transform the heart of our city, focusing on CBD streets between Kennedy and Cox and French and Lonsdale streets.

This ambitious project aims to enhance the streets and public spaces, benefiting residents, businesses, and visitors alike.

The initiative stems from the Hamilton Structure Plan, prepared for the Council in 2012, and the Hamilton CBD Masterplan in 2020. It aligns with other significant projects like the New Hamilton Gallery and the Community and Government Hub Build, creating a comprehensive vision for a vibrant and thriving CBD.

To ensure this project reflects the desires and aspirations of our community, we invite your active participation. If you have seen amazing street furniture, captivating public art, or engaging street activations during your travels across the country, we encourage you to share your discoveries with us.

To contribute your ideas, comments, and images, and to votes on the ideas of others, simply visit our Social Pinpoint platform.

Together, we can co-create a revitalised CBD that reflects our collective vision for our community!
