Five pop-up sessions have been held in Isabella Street to date with around 12 groups of people coming through each time.
Council says feedback has generally been positive. The most popular topic for feedback is about getting the right balance between loss of car parking and beautification aims such as trees and shade, a council spokesperson says.

There has been strong support for the wall surrounding Central Park, and footpath paving and trees in Isabella and Bent Streets, with good discussions on the options.
Council says that there have been high interest levels in what will be done and when, that is, "seeing it actually happen".
The remaining pop-up sessions are on:
- Wednesday January 27 from 9am to 12pm
- Tuesday February 2 from 8am to 12pm
- Friday February 5 from 9am to 4pm.
