Your views on Cooneana Heritage Centre
needed to inform our master plan
Ipswich City Council is asking for community feedback to inform a new Master Plan for the development of Cooneana Heritage Centre.
If you have visited Cooneana, we ask that you take a few minutes to complete the survey that Council Officers have created.
If you have contacts with other groups, please ask those people to complete the survey as well. The more responses gathered, the more likely the Master Plan will meet the needs of our community and our visitors.
The public survey can be accessed via the following link:

Please note: you will have to sign up to Shape your Ipswich if you haven’t done so before. By signing up you will be informed about key dates and you can have your say on any other Council projects for consultation.
The public survey on Shape your Ipswich is now open until 11:45 pm on the 16 February 2020. We encourage teachers, students and parents who have visited with school groups to respond.
Thank you for your support with this survey.
