Activating our town centres in Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda
Sutherland Shire Council is looking at ways to enhance the Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda town centres.
These are key hubs for our community — places where people shop, work, meet friends, and connect with their neighbourhoods. We want to make them even more vibrant, accessible and enjoyable.
To guide future improvements, Council is seeking community input to help inform the development of Public Domain Plans for Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda. These plans will outline practical ideas and priorities for how each centre could be improved over time.
We are committed to supporting the success and sustainability of our town centres.
To support this work, we’ve engaged independent research agency Place Score to carry a detailed audit of each centre, including targeted street intercept surveys and an online community survey. While the street surveys will be conducted with a random sample of people in each location, the online survey will be open to all community members.
Your feedback will help Council understand what matters most to the people who live, work, visit or run a business in the area – and ensure our future plans reflect local needs and ideas.
Have your say today
Before we start developing the Public Domain Plans, we want to know what’s important to you in these town centre and what could be improved to make them the ideal places to spend time?
Take the short survey below to share what you value in a great town centre. There are also a few quick questions tailored for local businesses.
You are welcome to take the survey multiple times if you visit, use or engage with more than one town centre.
Prefer to provide comments another way? You can also share your general thoughts:
- By email: trafficandpublicdomain@ssc.nsw.gov.au

The survey is open until 20 July 2025.
The Place Score team will also be out and about throughout June and July, conducting Place Experience Assessments across key streets in Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda. These on-the-ground assessments help track how each area is performing and changing over time. You may be approached by a Place Score team member during your visit — they’ll be clearly identified and may ask a few quick questions about your experience of the town centre. Participation is voluntary, and your feedback will help shape future improvements.
Next steps
Following the consultation, Council will review all feedback received to help inform the development of draft Public Domain Plans for Sutherland-Kirrawee and Miranda. The draft plans will be shared with the community for further feedback in early 2026.
