Thanks, Councillor Tom. This report will provide an update on the Pomona Place Pilot. To date, including the committee engagement process and prevents a Pomona Place Plan Engagement Summary Report to Council for endorsement. Committee and stakeholder engagement was undertaken from the 16th of August until the 9th of October for a period of seven and a half weeks in total. Over 500 people participated in a diverse range of activities with 250 people completing our online survey which was a fabulous result. The project included a diverse range of engagement activities with the following consistent messages or themes coming from the community: Pomona is a special and highly valued place. The natural environment is a defining feature of local identity. Pomona is loved for its welcoming, close and caring community. Pomona is loved for its walkable scale, but people would like to make it easier to get around, particularly for pedestrians. Manage the impacts of heavy vehicles and trucks through the town and village. Provide more diverse recreation opportunities. For young people were identified. And people love and value Pomona's creative community and culture. And finally, supporting small local business was also a highlight of the consultation. So this report will also outline the next in the process, which include investigating the best process for developing and delivering a place plan in conjunction with the community and other stakeholders. Another round of community consultation once the draft is written. Some potential quick win projects and a monitoring and evaluation report on the process of the pilot.
