The Evaluation Tool for Public Space and Public Life can be used by anyone who wants to better understand the strengths and areas for improvement in a public space. The tool takes people through a series of questions to analyse public space quality. This information can be used to inform future planning, design and investment and to improve public spaces for everyone.

Evaluation Tool for Public Space and Public Life: Engagement Report

We are taking a citizen-led approach to support the delivery of the Premier’s Priority Greener Public Spaces. The Evaluation Tool was on public exhibition from 20 October to 17 November 2020.
We wanted to engage the community in the value of evaluating public space quality so they could provide feedback and help us improve the Evaluation Tool before finalisation.
During the public exhibition, we consulted members of the community, industry, state agencies and local governments to help make the Evaluation Tool as useful as possible. The Engagement Report summarises the feedback we received including comments and suggestions and provides summary of our response to this feedback.
