Yarrabah Masterplan
Economic Development Queensland
#Overview
Managing a community co-design process to identify and prioritise design interventions in the Yarrabah CBD and surrounding parklands.
Plan C led broad consultation with more than 70 Yarrabah people to discuss improvements to Bishop Malcolm Park.
Developed in partnership with RobertsDay (now incorporated as Hatch RobertsDay), this high level of involvement led to community-members being invested professionally and personally in improvements to Yarrabah built environment, community and business.
#Key Outcomes Achieved
Strong relationships with Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council and the local community.
A collaborative approach with the Masterplanning design team.
A graphic and functional Consultation Outcomes Report that accurately delivers the key findings of consultation with Yarrabah community.
