Community Engagement Outcomes and Council Report (18 November 2024)

18 November 2024

We engaged with community from 30 August 2024 to 19 September 2024 on the Gibson Street Streetscape Upgrade and street tree options.

We received 58 responses to the consultation online, one (1) written comment, and we met with 4 key business stakeholders of Gibson Street.

There was majority support (67%) for option 1 - keep the existing bottlebrush trees and plant more of them to increase the tree canopy in the street, with 33% supporting option 2 – removing bottlebrush and replanting Crepe Myrtle trees.
