Logan Village Place to Play Stakeholder Engagement
Logan City Council
The 2021 老澳门六合彩图库 Awards for Planning Excellence (Queensland) in the category of Stakeholder Engagement is awarded to the Logan Village Place to Play Stakeholder Engagement. The engagement project was to assist in the design of a new park at Logan Village.
The focus on play and how children play was able to be observed through formal and informal methods, including loose parts play at Council led events (“observations rather than conversations”), which provided a unique method of consultation. The design exercise Category Sponsor was inclusive with a range of cultures and ages; and included engagement at schools as well as a community event. Over 500 design ideas were compiled from the local community.
The project is to be commended for its inclusive approach to consultation with the local community, in particular the children who will be the direct end users for the project. The judges’ felt that the project provided an innovative approach to the design of the new playground, by providing for interactive consultation in collaboration of children of various ages, abilities and cultures. This style of engagement is an exemplary style of engagement, that could easily be transferred to other projects involving designing places for children.
