PUBLIC CONVERSATION
Join us for a recording of our first ‘Dromana Conversation Event’ with some inspirational guest speakers.
Dromana could be the hub of the Mornington Peninsula, however, the current lack of a ‘Master Plan’ leaves its future at the mercy of unconnected decisions.
Imagine being able to keep the township character people already love but with some progressive thinking, add some year-round sparkle to the area.
We believe it is time to explore the possibilities of enhancing the area with better transport, a new destination pier and local recreational facilities for people of all ages.
Each panellist will present examples of how visioning and design thinking can bring about opportunities that foster amazing community outcomes.
