Introduction
Springwood Implementation Plan
Priority Projects and Programs
The purpose of the Springwood Implementation Plan is to progress the aims and objectives of the Greater Springwood Master Plan from ‘visioning’ to ‘doing’. The Implementation Plan does this by identifying and prioritising potential capital and non-capital projects and programs inclusive of the Springwood Summit Outcomes to deliver the actions required to progress the aims and objectives of the masterplan. Depending on the type of project or program, these may be delivered by Council, the Queensland Government, the Federal Government, the private sector or the community. Identification and prioritisation is the result of ongoing engagement with stakeholders, ensuring prioritised actions represent the current and future needs of the community, government, industry, business and landowners. These aspirational projects and programs will assist planning and coordination across Council to facilitate the delivery of the actions required to progress the vision of the Greater Springwood Master Plan. This approach allows Council to commit to a framework to deliver the vision of the master plan over the short term (up to five years), medium term (five to ten years) and long term (more than ten years) whilst allowing a more flexible approach in the delivery of priority projects and programs. The priority projects and programs have been identified by applying the framework for good placemaking that considers the alignment of key places with the shared vision for the activity centre master plans, the urban design themes, the seven implementation strategies and Council’s Corporate Plan Priorities. These important shared visions, themes, strategies and corporate priorities can be brought together through Place Management, as depicted in Figure 1 Framework for Good Placemaking. The Priority Projects and Programs recommended for Council endorsement are set out in more detail in this document. The internal branches proposed to lead the projects are highlighted in bold text. The Priority Projects and Programs are expected to be updated periodically and do not represent a commitment by Council or other stakeholders to fund or deliver a specific project. The Priority Projects and Programs can be considered for funding, applications for government grants and partnerships with a range of stakeholders that lead to the eventual delivery of the project. The Division 1 and 3 Councillors will be consulted on all projects.

The Ingredients of Good Placemaking Collaboration and Creativity
Context and Custodianship
• Urban Renewal needs political will — report directly to the decision makers.
• Urban renewal is a process measured in decades and across generations.
• Create a PLACE rather than simply constructing a building.
• Urban renewal is about creating great streets not entry statements.
• Be collaborative and move beyond narrow interest groups or departments.
• Create a Place manager / curator — move beyond assets and operational needs.
• Understand the power and relationship between public and privately owned land.
• Empower transport engineers to be part of the journey and the urban design story.
• Do an awful lot of market research — know your geo-economic space — develop a great business plan.
• City making not building.
• Acquire land only if you need to and for ‘city making’ reasons.
• Do a strategic network review — ‘think’ regionally and ‘deliver’ locally.
• The scale of development is not just about the dollar but about the strategic outcomes.
• Play the long game — get the urban structure right and stick with it.
• Rely on independent and nationally respected champions. • Know your strategic partners — build a coalition of the willing. • Understand the extent of ‘subsidies’ so you can support rather than sponsor Government policies. • Feature in regional conversations. • Change the language but make sure the vision and messages are consistent. • Be nimble — apply a light touch — maintain a level of agility. • Know who makes or breaks your community. • Find your Place champions — especially the young entrepreneurs. • Be genuine in your engagement with the private sector. • Continually engage with the community, local artists, performers, creative makers and thinkers. • Don’t just be fast, be certain and clear and don’t move the goal posts. • Accept that you don’t always get it right. • Relinquish control and the belief that you know all the answers.
• The sign of a great city or precinct is the strength of its cultural and artist life. • Businesses are placing a greater emphasis on the cultural amenity of their host city. • Create a compelling destination. • Prioritise what is durable and real. • Play to your local strengths and opportunities — enrich the locale. • What makes you unique? • What is your competitive advantage?
• Don’t rely purely on State led projects to kick start the renewal process they are important but take longer to deliver. • Spend your time and money working with existing landowners — get mixed use development happening and move on.
• Focus on authentic urban design outcomes instead of marketing, branding or tourism fads.
• Don’t under-estimate your contribution in providing developmental certainty, service and incentives.
• Populate a space with a good (and timeless) idea.
• You can’t legislate for innovation so don’t rely on a code.
• Communities don’t care who delivers it.
• Let the market decide — work with it — don’t force it.
• Deliver amenity and the estate works first where possible.
• Don’t be a slave to the immediate market and be adaptive to long term trends.
• Provide certainty at a local level by investing in physical, green and social infrastructure. • Focus on catalytic interventions — half permanent and half temporary. • Well placed community infrastructure is critical to urban renewal — it is your currency and contribution.
• Pace is important — point to progress.
• Decide on how you will measure success and measure often — include an urban and social value.
• Be deliberate not ordinary — be successful not controversial.
• Allow qualitative performance based assessments.
• Light a candle and the moths will come.
• Invest in the process of getting there — keep implementation simple — what are the top five outcomes and how do we drive towards them.
• Reinvest your profits back into the Place.
Choice and Character
• Target major tenants (civic, commercial, retail and institutional) that bring another place dimension. • Focus on fine grain tenancies not just head offices and large floor plates. • Attract and retain best practice businesses and industry leaders. • Reward businesses and people who enhance the place experience. • Promote speciality operators, festivals, exhibitions and events. • Focus on employment sectors, job creation and essential services. • Health and Education Services = Jobs (tertiary and vocational linkages are pivotal). • Match an industry sector and skill set to your residents (workforce) and strategic vision. • Job perception is linked to place perception.
Connections
• Quick access to a capital city is good but not essential. • Focus on local hotspots that are complementary and well connected. • Do the groundwork, make the connections, get uplift.
