Precinct Reference Group

In August 2020, the project team put a call out for expressions of interest from Jandakot residents and ratepayers to participate in Precinct Reference Groups (PRG) for the proposed development.

The aim of the PRGs was to work with the project team and consultants who are planning the new residential community to explore a range of topics including parks and shared spaces, lot sizes, streetscapes, traffic and connectivity.

The Terms of Reference for the Precinct Reference Group can be found here.

It was initially intended to run three groups – one for the southern section, one for the central section, and one for the northern section of Glen Iris.

Due to lower than anticipated interest in participating in the groups, it was decided to have one group with 30 members.

Over a series of workshops, the group will:

– identify the top five topics the group wishes to address with the project team

– workshop the top five topics with specialists consultants (eg urban designer, environmental scientist, traffic engineer) to identify opportunities, constraints and solutions

– review the additional work done by the specialist consultants and work through options for incorporating into the draft Masterplan.
