The Diocese has begun this journey with a simple commitment: listen deeply before designing solutions. Through conversations with parishioners, residents, families, and local stakeholders, a clear message has emerged. People want a precinct that remains faithful to its mission while welcoming future generations with dignity, safety, and care.
What We Have Heard So Far
Early consultation has highlighted priorities that go beyond buildings. Participants have spoken about accessibility, environmental stewardship, practical community spaces, and preserving the spiritual identity of the site. These priorities are now informing the planning framework and future design briefs.
Why This Stage Matters
No architectural scheme has been finalised. The Deep Listening phase is designed to ensure that any future proposal reflects real local needs and shared values. This approach supports transparent decision-making and builds trust across the wider community.
Next Steps
- Continue community engagement sessions and feedback channels.
- Consolidate consultation themes into a transparent summary report.
- Share updates regularly as the planning process progresses.
