    How will the engagement be undertaken?

    The Engagement will be undertaken in two stages:

    Stage 1 will present preliminary concept options to local residents and businesses, local community groups, and the wider community to test initial ideas and
    identify community aspirations.

    Stage 2 will present a refined concept to key stakeholders providing an opportunity to further comment on the concept prior to Council endorsement and detail design.
