Better Suburbs - Places and Spaces - Ryans Road, Nundah
This community engagement stage is now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
Brisbane City Council is working with the local community to revitalise the neighbourhood precinct at the corner of Ryans Road and Robinson Road, Nundah. This is part of the Better Suburbs - Places and Spaces (BSPS) program and Council's commitment to creating a city of vibrant neighbourhoods.
The local community were encouraged to become involved in the project by providing your feedback and ideas for the site's future transformation. We wanted to hear ideas to revitalise this area for Nundah locals, whether it be a place for people to sit, meet and socialise, a playful space, or even an opportunity to rejuvenate and rest.
We thank everyone who provided their ideas and participated in this stage of the project.
Have your say
Council invited the community to have their say on the project via:
- Online engagement:
- completing a short 'design themes' survey

Online engagement activities closed 11:59pm, Sunday 10 December 2023.

Project launch – community engagement summary
Throughout the three-week engagement period, between 20 November and 10 December 2023, community feedback was gathered during in-person and online engagement activities. Some key findings are summarised below:
- A place to gather – a place to connect, meet and socialise, and the potential for integration of active uses and consideration to day/night-time use.
- Street greening – increase tree canopy cover and shade within the precinct.
- Road safety focus – investigate solutions to reduce traffic speed and increase pedestrian safety.
- Lighting – increase lighting or deliver creative lighting to improve pedestrian safety within and through the site.
- Place identity – the acknowledgement and celebration of culture and local history.
Thank you for sharing your ideas and feedback during the project’s launch – your feedback will assist Council in understanding what the community values in their neighbourhood and will inform the concept design to be released in mid-2024.
