Global Research was contracted by the City of Melbourne (CoM) to undertake analysis and reporting on ten neighbourhood community engagement projects.
Future Melbourne 2026 consultation ~ City of Melbourne
Future Melbourne 2026 is a community collaboration project led by The City of Melbourne to develop a long-term strategic plan to ensure Melbourne’s legacy as a liveable and competitive city over the coming decade. The project refreshes the Future Melbourne 2008 plan, which has guided all aspects of the city’s development, prosperity and liveability. The community was invited to share their ideas and vision for the future.
Queen Victoria Market: Charter Consultation ~ City of Melbourne
The City of Melbourne (CoM) launched a community consultation process around the redevelopment of the Queen Victoria Market Precinct, engaging Global Research to provide a report with the findings of this consultation. Melburnians were asked to provide their views on how they think a new 1.5-hectare public space, Market Square, should be used.
Melbourne: A Great Place to Age ~ City of Melbourne
The City of Melbourne (CoM) undertook a public engagement to better understand what matters to Melburnians when it comes to ageing. This research was created to inform the development of CoM’s, Melbourne: A Great Place to Age strategic plan, which aims to create “a more connected community that brings people together in their local neighbourhoods, and ensures older people are supported to fully participate and feel valued and respected for their unique life experience.”
Moonee Ponds Creek ~ City of Melbourne
The Victorian Planning Authority (VPA) and City of Melbourne’s (CoM) vision for Moonee Ponds Creek is for it to become “a thriving corridor that supports the liveability and resilience of the city”. To achieve this aim, CoM sought community feedback on the draft Moonee Ponds Creek Strategic Opportunities Plan, which highlights strategic opportunities and management issues along the creek. The creek is envisaged as an exemplar corridor for water management, public space and community activity, active transport, biodiversity, heritage and culture.
Seafarers Rest ~ City of Melbourne
Seafarers Rest is a public park in the Docklands area of Melbourne that is earmarked for renewal. The City of Melbourne (CoM) worked in partnership with the Victorian Government, developer Riverlee, and landscape architects Oculus to create a park that meets a myriad of purposes – increase pedestrian and cycle access and improve public amenity, while protecting neighbouring heritage sites, preserving trees where possible, and responding to the site’s contexts and constraints.
