INTRODUCTION In partnership with Gehl Architects, Wollongong City Council (WCC) has developed ‘A City for People, Wollongong Public Spaces Public Life’, a draft strategy and action plan to revitalise and improve the City Centre. An important component of the Strategy has been engagement with a number of opportunities for staff and the wider community to provide feedback and input. The latest engagement round included an online survey with more than 1000 submissions and two stakeholder workshops (the purpose of this report). A City for People, Wollongong Public Spaces Public Life 2015 report will “inform a process of creating resilient places that are liveable today and sustainable tomorrow, investigating the relationships between people’s quality of life and their built environment and using data to inform decision making and to measure change”. The Report identifies six ‘Public Life Projects’ for delivery of fun, simple and quick ways to improve public space in the City Centre. Each project is unique, with its own identity and an important role to play in revitalising and improving the Wollongong City Centre. The 6 unique Public Life Projects are: 1. Rail Arrival 2. Western Crown 3. Crown Street Mall 4. MacCabe Park 5. Lower Crown - Arts Precinct 6. Foreshore
