On 23 November 2024, we popped up on Carlisle St to have chats with the community that visit Balaclava and surrounds. We spoke to approximately 30 people who provided ideas for the future of Port Phillip.

Key insights we heard were:

  • a desire for activation and reinvigoration of Carlisle St
  • concerns around safety in the area
  • a desire for Council to support more local arts and cultural activities
  • a desire for Council to address issues relating to environmental sustainability, including more tree planting in the neighbourhood.

That's a wrap for pop-ups in 2024! Keep a look out for us again in the new year - we'll be popping up around Port Phillip again in early 2025.
