Activating our town centres in Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda

Feedback on this project has now closed. Council will review all feedback received to help inform the development of draft Public Domain Plans for Sutherland-Kirrawee and Miranda.

Sutherland Shire Council is looking at ways to enhance the Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda town centres. We are committed to supporting the success and sustainability of our 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 sought community input to help inform the development of future 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. To support this work, we engaged independent research agency Place Score to carry out a detailed audit of each centre, including targeted street intercept surveys and an online community survey. While the street surveys were conducted with a random sample of people in each location, the online survey was open to all community members.

The Place Score team also conducted Place Experience Assessments across key streets in Sutherland, Kirrawee and Miranda. These on-the-ground assessments help us track how each area is performing and changing over time.

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. Draft public domain plans are expected to be available for consultation later in 2026.
