During phase two engagement, we asked the community to provide feedback on the draft concept designs which were developed based on previous engagement.
73 people completed the online survey, providing valuable feedback and insights into each of the design concepts as well as ideas for recreation at the Glenroy retarding basins.
We engaged with 117 people across all engagement activities. The majority of people like or really like the designs, however, there are still considerations and concerns to resolve in the final designs.
A range of events and activities were undertaken with the community to promote the project and seek ideas. These included:

As well as overall support, there were general considerations and concerns raised by participants as being important for Melbourne Water to consider for this project.

The top concerns per site were:

We have taken all your feedback and concerns on-board and are considering them in the final designs, which we hope to share with you in the next couple of months.
