Feedback

Have your say.

From time to time, Council will seek feedback from the community on specific projects or programs. You can check here to see what we're currently consulting on, or you can leave us a note in our online suggestion box below.

Current projects open for feedback

There are 3 projects currently open for feedback:

Carousel - Cemetery

Draft Cemetery Master Plan

Developed in consultation with the Longreach Archival and Historical Research Group, families, and celebrants, this plan has been designed to outline and prioritise asset maintenance works and facility improvements for the next 10-20 years. The plan aims to ensure strategic infrastructure development for efficient delivery and responsible asset maintenance and capital works expenditure. This master plan also highlights operational considerations for the management and general maintenance of the Longreach Cemetery. It will also be a valuable tool to support Council in applying for grants to improve the facility.

We’re asking:
What do you think of the placement of the Ashes Internment/Columbarium Wall?
What additional landscaping should we consider?
Which is the most suitable design for shade structures at the site?
What other comments do you have?

Carousel - Showgrounds

Draft Longreach Showgrounds Master Plan

The purpose of this document is to guide the future development and revitalisation of the site for the next 10 years. Master planning is an important part of operating, maintaining and developing the Longreach Showgrounds as it ensures that infrastructure development at the Showgrounds is planned and strategic, rather than ad hoc; captures the results of extensive consultation with users; and supports organisations and Council to apply for grants for facility improvement.

While the timeframe of the document can be as long as 10 years, some works in the plan have already been completed and others are currently underway.

We’re asking:
What do you think of including more defined camping areas?
Is the landscaping in the plan appropriate?
Should we consider an alternative bar and canteen placement?
What other comments do you have?

Carousel - Skate Park Plan

Draft Longreach Skate Park Concept Plan

This initial concept plan suggests potential uses for the Longreach Skate Park that distinguish the site from other public spaces in Longreach. It proposes new and specific features such as a dog park, additional parking, and nature-based-play. While not as advanced as the above master plans, it aims to prompt discussion and consideration of new uses for public open space in Longreach.

We’re asking:
What’s the most appropriate shade for nature-based-play? Do we stay with natural trees or incorporate hard structures?
What age group should the play areas be targeted towards? Should the play areas remain nature-based or be traditional?
What other comments do you have?
