In May 2019, Place Score, on behalf of the City of Newcastle, collected place experience assessments of James Street Plaza, Hamilton (between Beaumont St and Murray St) via face to face surveys as a part of the Newcastle 2030 Community Strategic Plan. The results from the Street PX Assessment have helped Council to use them as a foundation for further engagement with community and stakeholders, prioritise investment and as a baseline for tracking change over the next few years.
Some of the key findings include James Street Plaza received a PX Score of 58/100 and the strongest rated place attribute is Service businesses (post offices, libraries, banks, etc.) and the weakest rated place attribute is evidence of recent public investment (new planting, paving, street furniture, etc.)
