Help shape a Shared Vision for the Future of Winston Avenue

Winston Avenue is an important local street that connects neighbourhoods, local shops and community spaces. Council has prepared a draft Winston Avenue Urban Design Framework (UDF) to guide how the street could improve over time.

We are now inviting feedback from residents, businesses and people who use Winston Avenue before Council considers whether to adopt a final version of the Framework.

Why are we doing this work?

Through previous studies and engagement, Council has heard consistent feedback about safety, comfort and the overall quality of the Winston Avenue street environment, alongside the importance of local shops and community character. Council is taking a planned, staged approach so future decisions can be coordinated rather than made one issue at a time.

What is an Urban Design Framework (UDF)?

An Urban Design Framework is a high level guide. It:

• sets a shared direction for the future role and character of Winston Avenue
• identifies priority areas and types of improvements that could be considered over time
• helps Council coordinate future decisions more consistently

What it is not

• it is not a detailed design
• it is not a construction program
• it does not commit Council to projects, funding or delivery timeframes
• This project is not a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study. The Urban Design Framework does not replace or duplicate LATM investigations or technical traffic and engineering work.

What are we seeking feedback on?

We are seeking feedback on whether the draft Framework:

• reflects what you value about Winston Avenue
• focuses on the right priorities
• is clear and easy to understand
• identifies the right places to focus effort over time

This consultation is not seeking endorsement of specific project designs, budgets or delivery dates.

Share your feedback

We invite you to share your feedback via the survey below or you can comment on the local opportunities identified in the framework.

What happens next?

After consultation closes:

• feedback will be reviewed and summarised
• the draft Framework may be refined where needed
• a further report will be presented to Council summarising what the community said and seeking Council’s decision on a final Urban Design Framework

What has happened so far?

Council has been working on this project over several years through:

• earlier Council workshops exploring placemaking and the future of Winston Avenue;
• Local Area Traffic Management investigations and related community engagement;
• a community information-gathering session held in March 2026; and
• a Council Member co-design workshop in April 2026, where elected members tested and refined emerging ideas before wider community engagement.

The PowerPoint presentation and worksheets from the recent co-design workshop are available on this page for information.
