Have Your Say: Port Wakefield Masterplan survey
This survey is now closed.
Are you ready to have a say on the Port Wakefield you would like to see?
As part of Wakefield Regional Council’s Port Wakefield Masterplan project, the community is being asked to confirm a ‘vision’ for the Port and design principles for the project as part of a new survey.
Wakefield Mayor Rodney Reid says this is the opportunity for anyone who lives, works or visits Port Wakefield to share their thoughts and ideas with the planners.
“Port Wakefield is one of our most significant tourism gateway and lifestyle destination opportunities, which is why the town’s development forms a key part of our Wakefield 2030 Community Plan,” Mayor Reid said.
“Recasting Port Wakefield as the launch pad for great adventures and rejuvenating the streetscapes and foreshore of this historic seaside town are key aims of the masterplan.
“The town is rich in history of state significance and, nestled at the northern point of Gulf St Vincent, provides the perfect gateway to tourism regions. The masterplan will be the critical first step to opening up the town’s tourist potential and enhancing Port Wakefield’s features for current and future residents.
“We want to hear from as many people as we can so we can establish the community’s views before starting to produce the masterplan document.”
In 2019, Council commenced conversations with the Port Wakefield to Port Augusta Alliance to undertake the master planning process, leveraging its work on the highway duplication project to ensure the projects dovetail.
The survey follows consultation with key stakeholders in the past two months. Community members have until 28 May to have a say.
