We are committed to supporting the success and sustainability of our town centres. Council endorsed a Public Domain Strategy in 2023 that outlines the key outcomes and approaches for things like verges, public toilets, street tree planting, attracting people to town centres, street lighting and signage.

Developing a Public Domain Plan for Jannali Town Centre is one of the key priorities in the Strategy. The Plan will provide a prioritised list of actions that Council will implement in Jannali.

‘Public domain’ refers to footpath and verge areas in streets, as well as structured gathering places, such as retail centre pavements.

Council is carrying out a pedestrian, parking and traffic survey to analyse the transport demands of the Jannali Town Centre. The review will help Council identify any existing issues and make informed decisions on any potential traffic and parking improvements.

Further consultation was carried out in 2021, with in-person surveys conducted specifically about Jannali Town Centre.

Public domain plans focus on retail centres and their public spaces. It includes works carried out on streets, parks, roads, drainage, footpaths, landscaping and other public spaces. Public domain works can also relate to works on private property that have an effect on the public domain. The Jannali Public Domain Plan will not include proposed changes to planning controls or rezoning in the Centre.
