Malaga Place Plan 2010-2013 – status
update
Following on from the Malaga Business survey held in the 3rd quarter
of 2008, the City put the Malaga Place Plan (2010-2013) up for
Public Comment which has now finished. The responses received during
this period will be used to make changes to the draft plan. The
amended plan then goes back to council for endorsement of the final
product. Following this the plan will be designed, printed and
a community launch will be held. The timing for the launch is not
yet known but stakeholders will be notified when a date is confirmed.
If you are interested in the survey results, please don’t
