  • Appendix I – Questionnaire
    Appendix I – Questionnaire Hunter Street Revitalisation, Consultation Report Appendix I, November 2010 Page 1 of 8 Hunter Street Revitalisation In March, we asked Newcastle Voice members to tell us about their current usage, priorities and long-term ideas for the revitalisation of Hunter Street. That information has informed the Councillors' strategic planning processes for revitalising Hunter Street. Four themes for revitalising Hunter St have been identified in the draft Hunter St Revitalisation Master Plan Strategic Framework arising from the community consultation completed to date: • Integrated Transport, • Enterprise, • People and Place, and • Greenways. This survey sets out a large number of community options generated around each of these theme areas and seeks to test the level of community support for each revitalisation option. Retivalising Hunter Street requires the participation of many different organisations. This survey will help Council and other agencies better shape future plans. We encourage you to join in the continuing process of developing the Hunter Street Revitalisation Master Plan by completing this second survey. Have your say for the future of the city. We look forward to receiving your completed survey. Integrated Transport The theme of integrated transport seeks to foster the revitalisation of Hunter Street as a place that is well connected to other areas of the city centre, its surrounding neighbourhoods and across the city.
