If you have a great idea for Gunnedah’s Cultural Precinct, now is the time to have your say.

The Gunnedah Cultural Precinct Masterplan is underway and as part of that process, you can take part in a five-minute survey and tell us your ideas – no matter how big or how small.

The Cultural Precinct includes Gunnedah Town Hall, the Smithurst Theatre, the Civic Theatre, the Bicentennial Creative Arts Centre, the Visitors’ Information Centre, and now the empty block of land next to the Smithurst - and all the spaces in between.

Gunnedah Shire Council Director Corporate and Community Services Colin Formann said the survey can be completed online.

“We want to hear your ideas about how we can make this a space that serves your needs today, and into the future,” Mr Formann said.

“Whether you are a regular user of the precinct or have an idea for something completely different you would like to see happening, this is your space, and we want to know what you think. We want to hear all ideas – no matter how big or small.

“Many important community events take place in the precinct. We would like to see it expand its role in the heart of Gunnedah.”

The masterplan will guide the future development of the precinct. The project Steering Committee and Dunn & Hillam Architects have already held a number of community consultation events that will contribute towards the master plan.
