The project team is welcoming feedback on the initial design concept for the adaptive re-use of the Berrima Gaol site.
Public consultation is part of a stepped process that ensures community responses are fed into the design process. To kick off the initial community consultation for the project, a series of community drop-in sessions was held in the Southern Highlands in February 2025. The story boards on display at the drop-in sessions are available on this page, and a community feedback survey will be open until 19 March 2025
The survey will be open for a month, from 22 February to 19 March. Following this initial consultation period, the project team compiles the public survey results and other inputs from meetings held with community groups, Wingecarribee Shire Council, heritage, environment, community and cultural organisations. The project team then reviews the design concept with these combined inputs to determine feasibility of design elements, and any modification required. Following this review, we will be meeting with the State Design Review Panel to discuss designs and any variations required before progressing to detailed design and application.
As an iconic site with potential to become a revitalised destination for the Southern Highlands and Berrima Community, we appreciate your input.
Survey closes 19 March
