Thank you to everyone who shared drawings of their neighbourhood. Your entries will help us with our new Council Plan and future planning.

Your task!

Kids live, learn and play in places the City of Greater Bendigo looks after. We're asking kids up to the age of 12: What are the best things about your neighbourhood, and what would you change?

Watch the video below to check out how our neighbourhoods can affect our health.

Entries have now closed for this project.

Kids were asked to share as many things as they like, including:

  • How you eat healthy, like eating fruit under a tree at the park
  • Examples of unhealthy eating, like fast food signs
  • Places you like to go, like the playground
  • Places you would like to go, but don't feel safe
  • What you do in your neighbourhood
  • Places you want to do activities, but it needs fixing

There are lots of ways you can share your answers:
