THE COMMUNITY CONSULTATION PROCESS

Presbyterian Aged Care NSW & ACT (PAC) is committed to working with the local community to ensure that the redevelopment of the Scottish Hospital Site is responsive to local needs.

PAC has engaged Urban Concepts to assist with the community consultation process for this site. Urban Concepts specialises in facilitating community consultation for town planning and development projects.

To coincide with the design process a two stage consultation process was implemented as per flow chart below.

This ensured that community feedback was obtained at key project milestones and enabled our design team to respond to this feedback.

Stage 1 – Consultation initiatives are designed to obtain community feedback about:

Site analysis, opportunity and constraints investigations;
Building form, landscape and heritage design principles; and
The master plan options that have been formulated so far.

The outcomes arising from the Stage 1 consultation were used by our design team to advance a preferred master plan option for the site.

Stage 2 - Consultation initiatives will examine community attitudes to the preferred Master Plan option enabling it to be further refined into an architectural solution prior to its lodgment with the NSW Minister for Planning.

Stage 3 - Consultation The Stage 3 consultation has been designed to facilitate community understanding about the final architectural and landscape solution for the Scottish Hospital Site while the Environmental Assessment Report is on public exhibition. We want to assist local residents to an informed decision about the proposal prior to the closing date for written submission to the NSW Department of Planning.
