More than 40 Horsham north residents shared their thoughts on the future of their neighbourhood when Horsham Rural City Council hosted two consultation sessions this week.
The drop-in sessions at Kalkee Road Children’s and Community Hub and Horsham Neighbourhood House allowed residents to provide feedback on the Horsham North Local Area Plan.
Mayor Robyn Gulline thanked people who attended for their constructive attitudes and input.

“Meeting residents face to face and listening to their needs and concerns is important as Council works hard to improve the liveability, amenity and accessibility for all residents,” she said.
“We heard a range of great ideas such as increasing the amount of parkland and recreational space.”
Cr Gulline also acknowledged that significant planning work has already been undertaken in Horsham North.
“Council is keenly aware of the railway land currently owned by other parties as a significant barrier and under-utilised land. This land presents opportunities for paths and a park corridor that would add amenity and green space to the area and greater connectivity across the entire city,” she said.
“It is also understood that the current pedestrian underpasses are outdated and that footpaths and cycling access are in need of upgrade,” Cr Gulline said.
Submissions on the Draft Horsham North Issues and Opportunities Paper are due by Friday 1 April.
