How to get started

Anyone can start a placemaking project, whether you're an individual wanting to host a street party or a business who'd like to get creative with an empty wall. 

There are lots of ways to get involved in placemaking

Form a placemaking group using our free placemaking DIY kit – a great resource for anyone interested in the ideas behind placemaking and how to put them into practice locally.

Follow Placemaking Palmerston North on Facebook to learn about projects you can be part of, or get advice from other local placemakers about starting your own.

Kickstart a placemaking group by forming a Neighbourhood Support network in your street.

Lead your own project to add some zhoosh to a public space. Send us your idea and we can organise a time to meet up.

Get inspired by looking at some super cool projects from around the world at the Project for Public Spaces and Placemaking Aotearoa.
