Estate Improvement Plans Draw on the best ideas that the community and council can come up with 1. Holistic estate-wide plan – improving sequencing of works and communications 2. Resident centred – forming wish lists based on transparent cost and time envelope 3. Maximising resident involvement – especially for those that don’t engage
