What do you think,
have we got it right?

Our Places is about creating a plan that will help set a direction for the future of the Eastern Bay. We’ve got a draft plan, but it needs your input.

We want to hear from communities across the Eastern Bay: How can the region grow and develop, while making sure it remains a great place to live, work, play and visit?

We want to hear about two things in particular:

  1. What are your thoughts about where to plan for 5,500 new houses and land for businesses by 2055?
  2. What is most important that you want us to think about and plan for to support your community and other communities across the Eastern Bay?

Come and share your ideas with your local council and elected members at an event near you.

You can also click on the ‘Have your say’ button below to access our online feedback portal.
