Engagement Outcomes - Community Pop-ups

Purpose

Outlining the key aspects of the vision and encouraging the community to have their say on the future of Leichhardt Oval

Engagement Approach

The Community Pop-Up stalls provided opportunity for the community to provide feedback on Leichhardt Oval and surrounding uses and to inform patrons who are not familiar with Leichhardt Oval. The manned pop-up stalls were established at; Loyalty Square, Balmain

Norton Street Plaza, Leichhardt

• Friday 2nd December - 12:00pm-2:00pm
