About community engagement 

<h3 id="how-can-you-provide-feedback--3"><strong>We want to hear your thoughts on the draft Master Plan we&#39;ve developed for Bulli Showground.</strong></h3><p>In 2018/19 Council undertook extensive <a href="https://our.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/bullishowground" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">community engagement</a> to find out how the community uses Bulli Showground and how they might like to use the site in the future. We heard that the community really values the site, and want to use it for a wider variety of purposes.</p><p>Bulli Showground is located at Grevillea Park Rd, Bulli, and is primarily used for greyhound racing. Greyhounds NSW recently shared their plan to consolidate all Greyhound racing to their new site in Dapto. This provides Council with options and gives room for more opportunities to invest in Bulli Showground and transform it into a contemporary, multi-use facility.</p><p>Proposed improvements and changes to Bulli Showground would see activity at the site diversified with anticipated uses that could include:</p><ul><li>Removal of all greyhound racing infrastructure and main building and grandstand.</li><li>Concerts and festivals with space for over 10,000 patrons &ndash; the large, grassed arena of approximately 25,000 sqm supported by a dedicated hardstand area and supporting infrastructure for stage set up.</li><li>Markets, retail shows, family entertainment, social events, and civic/community activities.</li><li>Sports training (outdoor and indoor).</li><li>Opportunities for community and commercial uses such as food and beverage.</li><li>Flexible community space for a range of activities and events.</li><li>Small space for extreme or emerging sports and activities.</li></ul><p>We know this is a well-used and valued community space, and it&rsquo;s important we hear from the community about the future of this site. Community feedback and input will help us to refine the Master Plan for implementation, and position the project so that further detailed design and development can take place in future years.</p><p>Once endorsed by Council, a Master Plan for the showground will guide future use of this area as a recreational, cultural and sporting space for the local community and visitors.</p><p>To find out more:</p><ul><li><a href="https://our.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/85913/widgets/405354/documents/259294" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">View the Draft Master Plan</a> (an information pack including a printed copy of the Draft Plan is available for viewing at Wollongong, Thirroul and Corrimal Libraries)</li><li><a href="https://our.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/bulli-showground-draft-master-plan/widgets/405355/faqs#100702" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Read the Frequently Asked Questions</a></li><li>View the <a href="https://our.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/bulli-showground-draft-master-plan/widgets/405354/documents" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Document Library</a> and Project Lifecycle</li></ul><h3><strong>To share your thoughts and feedback you can:</strong></h3><ul><li>Complete the <a href="https://our.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/bulli-showground-draft-master-plan/survey_tools/bulli-showground-draft-master-plan-survey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">online survey</a> (or pick up a printed copy at Wollongong, Thirroul or Corrimal Library)</li><li>Attend an information stall - chat with the project team and ask questions.
