Following community consultation in December 2020, Ethos Urban and Council have developed the Draft Pratten Urban Design Framework (UDF).
The Draft Pratten UDF will provide the basis for funding applications, capital expenditure and collaboration between Council, community and other key stakeholders.
Council is now seeking community feedback to help finalise the plan.
Southern Downs Councillor Sheryl Windle said that ‘Urban design frameworks are integral to enhancing the functionality, liveability, character and spirit of an urban area and the community is invited to once again come forward to record their feedback in the next step of the process’.
The Draft Pratten UDF aims to identify design measures that will benefit the lifestyle of residents; enhance the experience of visitors; Provide a basis for investing in public works and guidance for how the town should look and feel within priority areas. The Draft Pratten UDF further aims set the scene for ongoing community and economic development initiatives.
- A copy of the Draft Pratten UDF can be viewed on Council’s Living Here/Have your Say page or residents can contact Council on 1300 697 372 or via email at mail@sdrc.qld.gov.au to request a digital copy.
