Pomona Place Pilot Evaluation Report

Thank you, Councillor. Yep. So, as you are aware, Council has previously resolved to establish Placemaking Program and a whole-of-Council approach to managing place. This included the development of a place program framework, commencement of a place pilot project, and embedding of placemaking and place-based approach across the organisation. Pomona was selected as the location for the pilot and the placemaking process commenced in June 2023. The purpose and benefit of the pilot was to test ideas and processes within the organisation and to develop a collaborative community-based partnership and a plan. This report presents an evaluation of the Placemaking Program to date, specifically it includes an evaluation of the pilot with input from the consultants, the internal project team and the community. It also provides an evaluation of the initial implementation phase of the Pomona Place Plan and the embedding Placemaking Program for the organisations. It also provides useful insights and key learnings for the future of the placemaking process. The evaluation of the pilot is developed and the development of the Pomona Place Plan concluded. The placemaking pilot process has been successful. It's fostered collaboration across the organisation to deliver efficient, effective and responsive initiatives for the Pomona community that will improve liveability and character of the village. Pilot has also provided a successful process to engage and collaborate with communities to identify and address matters important to them. It has provided opportunities for local groups, businesses and individuals to deliver actions and work together to make places better. The pilot has established pilot a good framework and process that can be used for future placemaking and can be adapted depending on the unique needs of each community. It has also embedded a program and organisational policy. Staff training to demonstrate organisational commitment to placemaking and place-based processes moving forward. The recommendation is this report B for noting.
