A big thanks to the students from North Perth Primary School for joining Mayor Emma Cole yesterday to imagine the future of Vincent!

The amount of enthusiasm and ideas the students came up with was incredible. Some ideas included:

• Solar powered cars
• Electric shoes - like hover boards but built into shoes, which charge via walking so it encourages more walking too
• Having a wall mural painted in every street of the street name
• More trees
• BMX tracks around the edges of public open space

A really big thank you to North Perth Primary School for having us.

All ideas will be added to the seven "Share Ideas" pages, so be sure to go and take a look, add your own or vote for your favourite!

We would love to hear the suggestions and actions that you believe will have the greatest benefit for the whole Vincent community!

At a recent community workshop, seven themes were considered. The community worked hard to create seven big questions - one for each theme. These form the Imagine Vincent survey and include:

• How can we maximise the benefits of population growth and improve our environment?
• How can we be the leader in helping people get around in an active, safe and sustainable way?
• What do you love about Vincent? How can we celebrate and promote our uniqueness?
• How can we support and facilitate our local businesses/ enterprises/ services and stay flexible to change?
• How can the design of our neighbourhoods encourage a greater sense of community?
• How can we help build connections across our diverse community of people?
• How could we work together to create welcoming places and spaces for everyone?

We launched Imagine Vincent on Thursday 8 June with a community workshop and open evening.

Imagine Vincent has been designed to canvass the broadest possible range of opinions, ideas and imaginations to help guide the future of Vincent.

We will be running the survey of our seven big questions, speaking with different groups in the community and providing opportunities for people to get together, have a chat and share their ideas.

By engaging the community, we gain a better understanding of what’s important to people, how we can do better, the community’s priorities, new ideas, and create a shared vision for the future.

The Strategic Community Plan 2018-2028 will describe how we will focus our efforts and ensure strong alignment between community expectation and Council priorities and strategies, as well as the services, programs and projects we deliver.
