Bulls’ residents will be ‘hoofing it’ to the 7 Day Makeover, starting Monday, February 1.

The 7 Day Makeover will kick-off with two days, Monday and Tuesday, February 1 and 2 at the Bulls Town Hall Supper Rooms.

During these two days participants will (led by David Engwicht) learn the secrets of creating great spaces and develop a plan of projects to be completed during the 7 Day Makeover. These two sessions both start at 9am – sign up at www.7day.com.au.

Also on Tuesday night, February 2 with a 7 pm start, there will be a planning night in the Supper Rooms where you will hear about the proposed makeover plan, contribute your ideas and be invited to lead or join a Makeover Team. The rest of the week will be spent completing the projects!

Talk around town has been mostly about the new joint venture multi-purpose Community Centre to be constructed on the site of the former Criterion Hotel, but for a least a week, residents and business owners have the opportunity to focus on “place-making” projects.

The new Community Centre is just one part of the Bulls Town Centre Plan which aims to enhance travellers’ experience of Bulls, provide a safe and engaging pedestrian experience, reinforce Bulls as a destination, slow traffic and create a safe environment.

Another, and equally important part of reaching these goals is “place-making” where small, community-led projects create inviting, community-focused spaces. David Engwicht, who provided his technical expertise to the community in the development of the Town Centre Plan, will again be supporting the community for the-7 Day Makeover of public places in Bulls.

7 Day Makeovers are low cost community actions investing in towns with the enlivening of public and privately-owned spaces in cooperation with the property owners.

Everyone who is interested in creating great public spaces is welcomed to get involved at any time.

7 Day Makeover Bulls: Monday 1 February- Sunday 7 February - Bulls Town Hall Supper Rooms, High Street. Ideas workshops are Monday and Tuesday starting at 9am.
