Whether it be a farmers’ market or a festival, the community is being asked to submit their ideas to help shape the future of Epping events at The Langston Precinct.
Just as Greater Sydney exits three months of lockdown, residents can start to get creative about future event ideas to enjoy with family and friends next year.
As Cbus Property approaches the final stages of its landmark project, the Australian property developer and investor has offered the project’s future residents and members of the local community the chance to have their say on the events and activities they wish to see on site upon its completion.
Set within a landscaped 2,750-squaremetre public plaza adjoining a 2,100-square-metre mixed-use retail precinct, including a supermarket, cafés, restaurants, and a number of other retail tenancies, The Langston is set to be a major central meeting point for Epping
locals, situated opposite the train station.
This community consultation will assist in the development of The Langston’s Place Activation Strategy to shape how the community interacts with and experiences the site’s public realm when it opens in early 2022.
Cbus Property’s Chief Executive Officer, Adrian Pozzo, said it was essential to canvas opinion about how The Langston’s public spaces would be used.
“Whether it is weekend events and festivals, farmers’ markets, family fun days, or any number of other suggestions, we want to hear the thoughts and comments of the community when it comes to setting out our Place Activation Strategy,” he said.
“We have been engaging with the community from the outset of the project, through direct meetings with local community groups, formalised quarterly Construction Liaison Committee meetings, partnerships with local artists, and supporting community events.
“In 2018, we hosted The Langston Weekender, which brought together nearly 2,000 people from across the community for a weekend filled with food and beverage providers, public art, markets, live music, and pop-up retail.”
Cbus Property will host a community engagement session for the Epping community on Thursday, October 28 at 7pm.
