On Tuesday 29 July, several community members engaged in a walkshop through George Street with a consultant from Village Well. That evening, 70 community members from around the Plympton area, including Councillors, attended a community workshop to discuss their ideas for George Street.
Thank you to everyone who participated — your ideas and passion for George Street were truly inspiring.
What’s Next?
Consultant Village Well will now take time to develop:
- A Collective Place Vision for George Street: This vision will reflect what the community values, aspires to, and wishes to protect, enhance, or introduce.
- A Community Action Plan: Designed to activate George Street, this plan will include place-based programming, creative activation ideas, and pathways to community-led governance.
Why it matters?
The Community Action Plan will turn the Place Vision into a practical roadmap of actions that both the community and Council can champion—delivering real impact and building long-term momentum. A special thank you to those who’ve expressed interest in forming a George Street Place Activation Team. Empowering an activation team is at the heart of the approach.
For now, we await the outcomes of the Consultant’s work and look forward to the next chapter in shaping George Street together. Expect a clear and visually engaging report that highlights some achievable ‘small wins’, along with larger actions that will need to be considered in future Council budgets.
