Archipelago and Cred have been working collaboratively with Noosa Shire Council to develop the strategy for place planning and governance for the roll out of place plans throughout Noosa Shire. Being the pilot project, the Pomona Place Plan is the first of many.

The team's strategy embraces Pomona's built form and landscape heritage, with a focus on creating positive economic, environmental, and social outcomes to create adynamic and memorable town heart that creatively and safely balances the needs and desires of pedestrians and vehicles. The result is a fundamentally people and place-based master plan strategy, with a design that physically revitalises and improves small town amenity and walkability, while celebrating Pomona heritage values.

“The urban sketching workshops were a fantastic engagement activity for the Pomona Place Plan as they helped provide more meaningful and deeper engagement feedback from the community. Participants were able to talk about why they loved Pomona and the importance and value the unique village and landscape character contributes to this connection through the sketching.”
