Edward River Council is working on an innovative $500,000 revitalisation of the End Street business precinct.
The upgrade will feature a series of permanent and temporary installations to make the public spaces more vibrant and engaging.
Working with End Street businesses, the project will include the installation of “parklets” outside three hospitality venues.
These will be great places to share a meal and catch up with friends and family. Other work includes an Indigenous garden outside Yarkuwa Indigenous Knowledge Centre, the cleaning and beautifying of older buildings with art installations, and much more!
“We saw an opportunity to foster a real sense of community in End Street by creating vibrant shared public spaces. We are thrilled to implement a project that will increase economic activity, business awareness and visibility in End Street,” said Mayor Cr Peta Betts.
“The addition of a new easy crossing for pedestrian traffic and a slight reduction of the speed zone will encourage people to walk, cycle and socialise in the area and enjoy the incredible local art and culture on display.”
The project is possible thanks to the NSW Government Department of Planning and Environment Streets’ Shared Spaces program.
Council looks forward to the whole community opening celebration in October.
